We hate failing. Here’s why:
- Our team is full of perfectionist, achiever, do-everything-right-the-first-time types. (We promise we’re super fun!)
- We’re human.
So in the spirit of preaching to ourselves, hear us when we say this: It is ok to fail.
Because failing means you tried something hard. You took a risk. You stepped out in wobbly confidence (or maybe even complete fear) and went for it. Go you.
The only way we get better and learn is if we attempt to do things that are beyond our current wheelhouse. We can’t be innovative, incredible leaders if we keep on doing the same old thing all the time. Plus, where’s the fun in that?
The key is learning from mistakes and applying those lessons learned to the future. It’s letting errors be teachers, and expanding our skillset, one big swing at a time.
Failing isn’t fun. But it’s okay. And it makes us better.
So get out there and try something. You never know what might happen.
