59. i hope you fail

Improvement in any endeavor is based on thousands of tiny failures. It is never easy, but it is necessary because the magnitude of your success is based on how many times you’ve failed. Wondering why you’re not as far along as the next person, is a waste of time, as that energy could be better utilized on creating your next opportunity. If someone is better than you, it’s because they have taken an opportunity, and failed more than you have. If someone is worse than you, it’s probably because they haven’t been through all the painful learning experiences you have. So, I hope you can find the courage to fail.

I’ve failed plenty of times, but I can honestly say I’ve learned something from each opportunity that I taken. I have been saying I wanted to write for at least 10 years. I’ve started at least a dozen different blogs or websites over that time and failed every time. Either because I didn’t know what to write about, or I wasn’t getting the feedback I needed, or it just wasn’t good enough. All of that led me to the website I have now. Will it work this time? We’ll see. I hope it does, but if not, then I know the next one will be that much better.
