WORD COUNT:  219  Tiny, Yet Revealing Words

TIME to Succeed:  * About 1 Minute! *

“I have missed more than 9,000 shots in my career. I have lost almost 300 games. On twenty-six occasions I have been entrusted to take the game’s winning shot…and missed. And I have failed over and over and over again in my life. And that’s why I succeed.” ~ Michael Jordan

What if Michael Jordan quit after he missed his first shot? What if Oprah Winfrey quit before hearing her first yes? Imagine how different your life might be if Bill Gates stopped trying after his first business failed?

For many, failure has become something to feel bad about, we don’t want to admit failure, and like to think we can avoid it. Yet isn’t failing simply part of the process of trial and error? Isn’t “winning some and losing some” just part of the learning process? And doesn’t it also stand to reason that the more we try, the better we get at aligning ourselves with a winning outcome?

All that’s needed is to remember not to get stuck in the mistake! Learn from it and move on. Refine your game, enjoy the process and allow yourself to feel the joy of becoming really good at your chosen craft!

Take another shot… get on the road again…get back up on the horse…take another at bat…there are other fish in the sea…well, you get the idea!

Your friend and partner in revealing truths,
