Wait, can you avoid failures?

What if failing had multiple benefits?

Hello dear friend,

When you're building something of your own, you have to experiment a lot.

By definition, experimenting means you fail a lot.

And when you fail a lot, you learn a lot.

But you don't always make the progress that you want to.

It's hard to consider learning as "progress" because our brains are so hardwired only to measure success or progress by the materialistic value we get.

For example, a job, a promotion, more sales or money, etc., are considered yardsticks of success. Lessons and takeaways are not.

But learnings are valuable.

If we collect and curate our takeaways, we can keep taking more intentional steps toward our long-term goal. This way, we can achieve infinitely better results.

But it is our fear that stops us from trying again. We are so attached to the idea of being successful that we start seeing failure as something to be avoided at all costs.

Lesson: If you avoid failure, you’ll be living your entire life being cautious and not living up to your full potential.

The only way to move ahead is to swallow failure like bitter juice.

Notice the results, note the takeaways, and take intentional steps not to repeat them. This is a healthy way to move ahead from failures.

If you can adapt this mindset, no force in the universe can come between you and your goal.
