Do you ever find yourself worrying about failing at something? Of course you do. We all do, but we shouldn’t, and here’s why.
Failing at something in an inevitable part of the learning process. In fact I think we learn far more from our failures that we do our successes. There is a great quote by Samuel Beckett that says “Ever tried? Ever failed? No matter. Try again. Fail again. Fail better.” To me this perfectly encapsulates my thoughts on failure and learning. It’s easy to get frustrated sometimes, but don’t be discouraged. The day you stop failing at things is the day that you’ve stopped challenging yourself. It is important to shake the notion that failing or falling is something that we should be ashamed of. To me it is in fact the opposite. It’s a badge of honor. It means that you have set your ego aside and are pursuing something new and exciting.
My older brother jvellner recently wrote a blog post that talks about this thought process and relates it to his experience growing up in acrobatics where he arguably spent twice as much time landing on his head than his feet. The link is in my bio so give it a read. I highly recommend following his blog and account. He is:
A) An amazing acrobat and will be the best follow ever. And
B) A brilliant writer who spent years competing on world cup circuits in two sports. His insights into learning and psychology will rock your world.
