Failure is Not an Option
Have you heard of the saying ‘we all fall down, but we only fail when we don’t get back up’? It’s so true!
Welcome to the human race. Nobody does everything, all the time, perfectly and successfully. We learn through trial and error and having the willingness to try.
It's been my life story to try different ideas and ways of doing things even at the expense of the naysayers that criticize and put me down for daring to do something different. Wanna know what kept me going? Someone told me once that those that don’t do anything, never fail! Wow! That gave me the courage to ignore people that aren’t supportive. Leave them in the dust. In fact, I feel sorry for them. Why? Because they play it safe, and never venture out to try and discover new things.
Don’t ever be afraid of making mistakes, we all make them – what we need to do is learn from them, adjust and then move on! It’s called failing forward. I love that expression...
I’m failing forward, I’m moving ahead and believing that I can reach my goals.
Successful agents have bad days like anyone, but instead of getting caught up in their missteps when they don’t see the desired outcome of something, they learn from their mistakes and identify what they need to do differently next time. That’s what we all need to do.
