I found this sentence deep in a post by Valeria Maltoni, in a quote: “Avoiding failure is a heck of a lot easier than trying to be successful“. That’s quite a powerful and far-ranging statement! And the more I consider it the more powerful I find it.
People that seek to avoid failure at all cost won’t progress in life. It is only by embracing failure as a by-product of trying new things that progress can be achieved on a personal and professional level.
And there are quite many people that avoid failure as a way of life, embracing what appears to be the surest way in terms of employment of personal life.
Trying to be successful entails failure, and many failures. It is not a wish; in action this means getting a lot of hits.
Failure is messy, sometimes bloody. However it is the way to grow. Which one do you choose?
