Let me start with what Richard Branson of Virgin has to tell: Failure. Seven letters that affect everyone in some way or another. But why is failing, or losing our way, considered such a bad thing? Why don’t we see it as the next step in our journey – as a learning experience, or as an opportunity to try again with more knowledge behind us?
At this point we only have two choices- to run away or turn and face the failure. Even if doing the right thing feels like the harder thing to do… do it. In the long run, tackling things head-on instead of running away from them is going to make you who you were truly born to be.
This new, more optimistic way of thinking, has been reinforced by other trips and challenges since, cementing my love of going out of my comfort zone, facing the possibility of failure head on, and really learning about myself.
Life can be difficult, no matter what walk of life you come from, but hard situations present our biggest opportunities for growth.
Like every human experience, having the right outlook is always a choice. I’m not saying it’s always easy, but it’s a choice – one that will only strengthen your ability to succeed in life. There is a bad wolf and a good wolf in all of us… Which one survives? The one that you feed!
