Don’t Be Afraid To Fail

Failures are lessons needed to accomplish steps on our journeys. Far too often society has told us that if we fail at something, it’s not to meant for us. I believe everything in life has a meaning and it`s up to us to seek to understand.

When a baby begins to walk, they fall numerous times, but no one tells the child it’s not meant “for you to walk”. Instead, we clap with excitement and say keep trying. They even hold their hands and lead them as they gain their balance and eventually succeed.

Now just imagine if we use the same logic throughout life. Gathering our goals, thoughts, and ideas with the mindset that before we can be successful, we will likely fail a few times. With this in mind we can get back up and be grateful for the lessons learned. With our focus on understanding and trying again, and hopefully with some people encouraging and cheering us on, we cam accomplish our goals - unafraid to fail and ready to try again.
