Most of us have an unrealistic relationship with failure. We avoid it but desire what’s on the other side of it: growth, opportunity, self-development. Today’s episode is all about flipping this script. Prepare to be challenged! I begin by illustrating the difference between the comfort zone, the learning zone and the danger zone and how recognizing these will inform you when to take risk and when to avoid it. I then define failure as being the feeling of not meeting your own expectations, because its easy to think of failure as an objective experience that’s shameful and embarrassing, but I encourage you to take control and adjust your perception. What if failure was a sign that you were one step closer to your goal? I emphasize this by outlining the consequences of avoiding failure and assert that it deprives us of vital experiences that prepare us for what our goals require from us. I end the episode by differentiating two types of failure: failure due to pushing past your comfort zone, and failure due to not trying at all.
