This is a guest post written by Lolly Daskal, a highly successful Life Coach and someone who is an expert in helping others find and develop their passions. To me this pretty well sums up about learning from failure and I am thrilled to be sharing this empowering post with all of you.
There is an old adage that those who refuse to learn from history are doomed to repeat it. So it is with our failures.
Unless you learn from your failures, you are likely to repeat them until you learn from your experiences and correct your course. Every setback you encounter in life contains valuable information that if you study it carefully, will eventually lead you to your success.
Without adversity, you would never develop wisdom, and without wisdom, success would be short lived indeed. When you have made mistakes or have failed, say to yourself, “That is good! I have gotten that out of the way. I will try never to do that again.”
You will no doubt make mistakes and have failures, but they won’t bother you nearly as much when you treat them like a learning experiences.
Lead From Within: If you do not know why you failed, you are no wiser than when you began.
This is very empowering advice that I think we all can learn from. Step back from your failures. Look at what transpired and how you arrived at that point. You can turn that particular failure into a success, just by simple learning from your mistakes and choosing to change.
Being an entrepreneur has given me a deep appreciation for individuals who are success oriented and never give up. The drive to always “push through” is a trait of successful people.
I have been fortunate to associate myself with many successful individuals over my life. It began with my father who instilled in me the ability to step outside of the box…to create something out of nothing. He taught me the importance of integrity in business...traits that I have incorporated into the various business models I employ.
I spent the first ten years of my career in the medical field. I worked side by side with amazing individuals who put their own self-interests aside in order to nurture others back to good health. Many times I witnessed life and death situations. It was always humbling to experience the team-work that evolved around trying to save a lives.
As my career path evolved into the business world, not only could I bring those experiences into my persona, I saw a need to spread information…real information for real situations. A close friend of mine began to mentor me in aspects of blogging. He has given me incredible insight into how a blog should be developed…how to focus my passion for helping mentor people to becoming successful entrepreneurs. This passion for mentoring others began when I was a young child and continues today. It is not about me, but rather those who have influenced my life.
I am a work-out addict and a real “ski dog”. Sorry guys and gals…I do not “ride”. I live for deep powder and steep chutes. I love the feeling of looking over the edge of a steep run…feel my heart beat faster with that adrenaline rush and then “jump in”. I love golf…but I always wonder if I will ever break 100…lol! Most of all, I love my wonderful family…they are the best! Thanks for stopping by and I hope you feel empowered today.
