Fail and Fail Often

If you’ve never failed, then you’ve never taken a risk. You’ve never had a dream and put your heart and soul into achieving that dream. The opposite of failure is success. We cannot succeed with failure. We learn from failing. We must fail and fail often in order to have progress.

Failure doesn’t have to be a bad thing. It doesn’t mean that we don’t get a second or third or fourth chance. Obviously failure in some industries or some tasks will have varying results. Failing to make a pizza properly on your first attempt is a safe failure. Failing on your first test flight as a new pilot isn’t a safe failure. But then again, it’s all about what we consider success and by extension what we consider to be failure.

In moments of failure, I like reminding myself how we can learn from it and what it all means by turning to quotes on failing. Enjoy!
