Failure Is Not A Tattoo

Whenever you’re transitioning in life there are two feelings that always arise. One is the fear of “what if” this new path will not work out and the other is the excitement of the new venture you’re undertaking. In both these feelings, they are always present the deceitful saboteurs who delay our progress.

Have you ever felt this way before?

I have felt this so many times and I’m sure you have experienced this too before. Have you ever wanted to do something so much however your inner self-talk took you on a different tangent? Yes, your inner saboteurs were louder than your purpose and passion! You’re not alone in this challenge and I know that when we have to make a decision in life, we have a tendency to make excuses and choose the easier route. It’s super natural.

And this is why is so important to dive deep into the recurring “fear” that you might feel and shift that disempowering belief into a positive gift or opportunity even if you fail at it. Wouldn’t it be better to have tried and failed than never have experienced it before?

“Better to have tried and failed than to have never tried at all.” ~?Sean-Paul Thomas,?The Universe Doesn’t Do Second Chances

“It’s better to have tried and failed than to live life wondering what would’ve happened if I had tried” ~?Alfred Lord Tennyson

The moment you embrace “failure” as a bump on the road, and have the courage to dust yourself off and do it again with a different perspective, the quicker you will be able to move toward your goals and what you truly want to achieve. I love this quote that I’ve known for years and use on myself often,?“Failure is not a tattoo, it’s just a bruise”.?

Every time I feel a bit discouraged or something is not going my way, I think about this statement and suddenly it becomes clear that whatever I’m not succeeding at the moment shall pass and it’s not going to mark me forever, it will only bruise me. And the solution for our “bruises” is healing with compassion and forgiveness.

Having failed in life a few times gave me an opportunity to learn from my mistakes and do better and better next time around. However, I also know that the only person do something about my failures, is myself. Nobody else is going to do it for me. So once I became aware of my inner saboteurs and learned how to accept them and intercept them, I started to feel a wave of inner peace and stop being so hard on myself.

I elaborate more on this in my interview with JP Horgan and where I speak from the heart about what is really stopping us from reaching our fullest potential.
