It goes against our gut feeling.
We want to succeed – not fail.
But in order to move forward sometimes we have to be ok with failure.
“Fall down six times, get back up seven”
Japanese proverb
Learning through our mistakes is often the best teacher.
A mistake is not a mistake if you learn from it.
Then it becomes a life lesson if you take that small knee bump and turn it into something good.
Relax. Don’t be afraid. Go with the flow.
A willow survives the storm by bending but not breaking.
Those that are rigid and set in their ways become carnage on the road side.
I failed out of Navy SEAL BUDS/ training my first time through. I did not let that failure define me. I learned from it and took away a big life lesson. You can fail as long as you fail /fall forward and get back up.
