Billy Florence - The Right Outlook on Failure
Failure. It isn't a very fun word. No one "likes" to fail. It is much more fun to "succeed" than to fail. But is failing really failing? It is important that we have the right outlook on failing. When we fail at something that doesn't make us a failure as long as we learn from it. The bigger the goals you have in life the more you will need to fail to get there.
John Maxwell calls it Failing Forward. I love that. Leaders must understand that failing is part of the process. But just fail forward by learning and moving on. Try to learn from other people's failures and certainly try not to make the same mistake twice.
Enjoy these great thoughts on failure.
