Your attitude regarding failure plays a significant role in your outcomes. When you were a baby, nothing stopped you. You could cry your eyes out until you got the desired result, food, a clean diaper, companionship. You didn't let a fall stop you from getting back up. Those first steps came with all kinds of falls. Did you ever stop? Well, if you did, you would still be crawling rather than walking, running, jumping and enjoying life.
Something happens to us as adults. We succumb to peer pressure. We listen to those negative voices in our heads telling us we are inept or incapable. We fail and decide to give up. There is a better solution. It's about changing our perception about what failure is. For me, it's a necessary step in the journey. It's a pause button. The key is learning to hit the play button before too much time lapses. We must go back to our baby days when the pause button lasted only a few seconds. Do this every day for the rest of your life. Have a great day.
