Failure is an underappreciated, much maligned but very valuable part of life.
Without failure you don’t learn. (Could there be a hidden agenda in why schools train us to avoid it?) Imagine if you’d given up on walking after a few falls. Where would you be today?
Without failure you don’t grow. Strength of character doesn’t come from success, it comes from adversity. The greatest satisfactions of your life are probably the times you persisted, despite obstacles and setbacks, to achieve a goal. Can you think of a worthwhile goal you got first time you tried for it, easily? If you can, how much do you value it?
Without failure you don’t succeed. Check out the video below – it proves my argument.
So what are you letting a fear of failure hold you back from? Maybe we should be charging full speed towards those things that offer the biggest chance of failing. Can you imagine what the world would be like if we all did that?
