Embracing Failure – The Key to Greatness

Failure is something that’s worth embracing, because if you reach every goal you set the first time out, you’re not dreaming big enough!

Your vision should be so MASSIVE that you have to fail as you figure out how to bring it to life. That’s what it really means to be VISIONARY!

I love this quote from Denis Waitley: “Failure should be our teacher, not our undertaker. Failure is delay, not defeat. It is a temporary detour, not a dead end. Failure is something we can avoid only by saying nothing, doing nothing, and being nothing.”

I don’t know about you, but I’m not here to say, do and be nothing.

I’m here to make a difference.

I am here to make an impact so big that it ripples out farther than even I can imagine! (And I have a pretty big imagination.)

Failure is the thing that shows you that you’re taking action. Every mistake you make is a good thing because you’re choosing to do something different and not live in the status quo.

You’re refusing to be mediocre.

You’re daring to be great!

“Only those who dare to fail greatly can ever achieve greatly.” – Robert F. Kennedy

Every single one of us is meant to shine brightly, but it’s only a few of us who will step up to the plate to take on the challenge, because the power of our vision won’t be denied.  

It’s only a few of us who welcome failure instead of fear it.

Only a few of us who are willing to LOVE it because it means we’re doing something we’ve never done before.

That’s how real change is made.

It’s how we get to impact the world.

That is how we make a difference. Our difference.

“What is the point of being alive if you don’t at least try to do something remarkable?” – John Green

Let’s be remarkable together.

Let’s embrace failure when it happens because it means we’re dreaming bigger than ever before…and because it’s only by learning from our failures that we can make the kind of impact we need to change the world.
