Failure by Chris Widener
This week's message comes from Chris Widener, who writes:
Most people think that failure is bad and success is good. I want to help you change your thinking on that, if you fall into that category. I will agree that failure isn't fun and success is, but what is the role of failure and how can it be good? Failure's role is to teach us. We learn from failure.
Failure teaches us that we need to change our plans. Failure teaches us that we need to change our decisions. Failure teaches us that we need to change our resources. Failure teaches us that we need to change our strategies. Failure teaches us that we need to change our hunches. Failure teaches us that we need to change our teamwork. Failure teaches us that we need to change our risks. Failure teaches us that we need to change a lot of things.
With every failure, we learn one more way we can abandon, and focus in on what may be the correct way in the future. When we look at it that way, we set ourselves up for a powerfully successful future! So when you fail, ask yourself this question: What does this failure teach me?
Remember, success and failure are both good. They can both be your friends, if you know what role they are to play in your life.
Have a great week!
