Failure

You’ve no doubt heard at some point in your life that failure is not an option. There are times this holds true; definitely when someone’s life is on the line, or maybe – but only maybe – if there’s a large sum of money at stake.

But I think there are times failure should be the only option.

Failure can be one of the best teachers we have – as long as we’re willing to listen to her lessons.

Failure always shows us the truth. Sometimes gently, other times brutally.

We need to openly welcome failure’s lessons into our lives in order to grow.

Failure will never lie to us. She shows us where we are wrong about our belief systems and how they may need to change.

If we’re willing to fail in the most spectacular ways, failure will bless us with wisdom and humility in return.

But, if you think you have nothing to learn from failure and that you already have it all figured out, well then my friend, you’ve already failed in the biggest way you possibly could.
