Why Failing Forward Could Be Your Ticket to Ultimate Success

The honey is never as sweet as after the taste of a lemon.

I have tried a lot of different things.

Had a few big successes.

I also failed. A lot.

But the truth is, failure can actually be a blessing.

Why Failure is My Best Friend

Think of failure as an internal GPS giving me constant feedback.

It’s like my brain telling me, "Hey, wrong turn, let’s reroute!"

Those who never miss a turn? Well, that's impressive, but they may be missing out.

How weird would it be to always expect a win without a single loss?

Life just doesn’t work that way. If you are not being defeated, you aren't working very hard.

Sweet success is defined by the bitter taste of failure.

Imagine being on top of the world since the day the doctor slapped your scrawny ass.

If that's all you knew, would it feel like a success or just another Tuesday?

A life lived is about setting sky-high goals, falling down a bit (or a lot), and then finding the magic of that sweet space in between.

The Magic of Self-Reliance

Which brings me to another thought - the beauty of self-reliance.

Let's talk about the rich kids for a sec.

Many of them have never had to hustle for their next meal.

Success is their daily bread.

But, because of that, they miss out on discovering their limits, finding their mojo, discovering that their groove is silkier than Sade's smooth operator.

They don’t know the thrill of setting a target like earning $1,000 a month from scratch. Or navigating the rollercoaster of emotions that comes with such a journey.

A nugget of golden advice; Embrace your failures.

Love them and learn from them.

They are the roadmap to your next success.
