Motivation and Inspiration – Monday. The ‘Art’ of failure. This video cracks me up! A little bit of humour to start the week…at others expense this time. Now, before we go on…my lovely Mother taught me that “If you can’t laugh at yourself, then you shouldn’t laugh at anyone else.” So to avoid the wrath of my matriarch, here’s my FAIL story for you to laugh at. Within the first 24-48 hours of being in business for the very first time, (I remember being SO excited) I was promptly, bluntly, and cold-hardheartedly rejected by my closest friends, my immediate family and many other people I associated with daily…FORTY-TWO times in a row in fact! How’s that for massive failure? :-) I can tell you that my ego was feeling a little bruised after that day! I can look back at what I did and how I did it and laugh to myself and have absolutely NO PROBLEM sharing that with you. Because as we all understand - winning and losing and succeeding and failing are a normal PART of everyday LIFE. Here’s what’s not funny but an incredibly important lesson from that though… I learned from what I (ME) DID WRONG and applied this to become better…I kept failing…but this time I was failing BETTER. I kept going. I kept growing. I kept failing. (I never ONCE blamed the company, the people I spoke with or the people who introduced me to the world of owning my own business) I understood that I’ll keep failing all the way to the top because, as my mentor teaches - “WHEN, not IF you fall down seven times, get up eight times.” So, before you laugh your butts off at the misfortune of other people and upset my mother, what have you FAILED massively at in YOUR Life By Design? Now…for that laugh - https://youtube/watch?v=RrN2O8MkRUw Enjoy!
