Giving a public presentation today reminded me of the value of failure.
…I didn’t fail presenting publicly today, but I certainly have in the past.
And while the successes build a confidence more and more solid… the failures provide the care.
Nobody wants to feel like they’ve failed, let alone in front of an audience of people, let alone LIVE.
And so what do the memories of those failures make us do as we approach another shot at the same task?
…They make us do our homework, practice our technique, refine our message, align with our spirit, and humbly seek help—or at least they should.
They give us the motivation to do better… to prepare better… to step closer into who we were always meant to be.
And who’s that you ask?
The person who is confident, yes—and can stand up with great posture, speak wholeheartedly, while emanating a sense of empathy, understanding, and calm—but, just as importantly… the person who does so with deep care.
…Because they know deeply the other side of success.
See, both grow in proportion—success and failure—so long as you approach each with the appropriate mindset. So don’t run from failure. Grow from it. Grow with it. Let it guide you to a greater success than you could’ve ever experienced otherwise.
