I am PROUD of failing!
Somebody excitedly messaged me about my upcoming accountability challenge group but said, “I’m excited BUT I’m afraid to fail…” And I get it! Everyone has some fear of ‘failing’ but that’s normal! We need to overcome that and step out of that comfort zone and give things a try!
Successful people are only successful because they’ve failed MORE TIMES than unsuccessful people!
If I had stopped coaching the first time I experienced a down moment or felt like I was failing, I would’ve QUIT a long time ago! I’ve always been that person that if I wasn’t naturally good at something I just said ‘not for me’ BUT nope I KNEW this was for me DESPITE my moments of weakness, let down, and failure! In fact those moments lead me to personal development, self education, and being stronger and more ready for the next time!
BUT SERIOUSLY think about it–> had Thomas Edison stopped after he wasn’t immediately successful with inventing the light bulb things would have been much different. As Edison put it, “I have not failed. I have just found 9,999 ways that do not work.”
We need to not look at it as just failing but FAILING FORWARD!!
Soooo no matter what adventure you’re taking on, my advice to you, BELIEVE and TAKE TIME!! Don’t quit or worse yet never even start due to fear, take it on with the mind set of failing forward and believing in yourself!!
