Without a doubt those who fail learn more and become smarter, more caring, more connective people than those who avoid circumstances where failure hangs out.
Succumbing yourself to risk is as easy as avoiding it. Here are some ideas that will help you fail better, fail more often, and in turn become a better person because of it
Take fewer shortcuts.
Raise your hand first.
Accept more responsibility (even if you have to give it to yourself).
Be detailed about what success by your hands will look like.
Get others involved in your pursuits. A team trumps a single player every day.
Focus on what you can influence and empower and bring your best self to. The external doesn’t matter if you can’t influence it. Note it, sure, then get back to the real work.
Last but not least, call yourself out when you fail. Own the failure. Not only learn from it, but share the lessons with others. You’ve failed so others don’t have to fail in the same way. They’ll look up to you for this. Not down.
Stay Positive & Go Fail A Bit
