No one ever knows what is going to happen next. But these transition times—between something being set and things being uncertain—are times of enormous potential. I share in this episode that I failed many things in life, the failures are what I can my lessons and lessons that I learn from. I also know that with failure that when I come back and get back up from my fall that anything is possible.

If there is one skill that is not stressed very much, but is really needed, it is knowing how to fail well. The fine art of failing. There is a lot of emphasis on succeeding. And whether we buy the hype or not, we all want to succeed, especially if you consider success as “it works out the way I want it to.” You know it feels good in the gut and in the heart because it worked out. So failing by that definition is that it didn’t work out the way you wanted it to. And [failing] is what we don’t usually get a lot of preparation for. But what makes us the person we are today.

So fail, fail again, fail better. It’s like how to get good at holding the rawness of vulnerability in your heart. Or how to get good at welcoming the unwelcome. None of us want to fail in life, but sometimes with failure the lessons we learn are better than the win, the win is finding the reason we failed. We can make life what we want and start living with what happens and improve each fail. Fail your way to win success.
