On Failure

by Max Kalehoff, Tuesday, July 23, 2013 11:33 AM

People fail. It can be devastating.

However, it’s important to remember that people who have never experienced failure most likely haven’t taken risks. Their growth is limited. They’re not interesting or seasoned.

Failing is not bad. What matters is how you get up, how you interpret outcomes into learning, and how you become stronger.

Sometimes failure and mistakes are easily understood. Sometimes failure is complex and takes weeks, months or longer to fully understand.

Whichever the case, it is not something to hide from or be discouraged by.

You’re better off embracing it, being proud of it, and using it to your advantage.

Love this post Max... so incredibly important to recognize the importance of being open to failure. "Most great people have attained their greatest success just one step beyond their greatest failure." --Napolean Hill

Awesome post, Max. Fearing failure will only hold you back from your full potential of great accomplishments. Learning from those failures is the way to learn and grow. Thanks for the extra mojo today.

Totally agree - and the key to failure is learning from it. Wrote an article on the topic, as well - http://wp.me/p1VfnS-5A. Michael Baer http://stratecutionstories.wordpress.com
