It's all part of the journey.

You have to appreciate those moments because what happens right after you feel like you've failed is who you are and who you will continue to be.

You constantly remind yourself after every defeat, after every setback, every time you get out down, I've got a saying, If life knocks you down, try and land on your back because if you can look up, you can get up.

Failure is a part of the learning process, right?

What's the risk of failure?

What?

You'll be embarrassed.

Failure is part of life.

The difference for me, though, is I'm a good failure.

Is a stepping stone to success.

It's a speed bump.

I know I'm gonna fail.

There's always challenges, obstacles, etcetera, and I literally don't accept any of that as a impediment as a negative.

It's like good, this is gonna make me stronger.

I wanna learn something from this.

It's not failure if you learn something to see a lot of people.

Because of failure.

They stopped.

They stopped believing, Let me share something with you.

You will fail your way to success.

Yes, eight out of 10 millionaires have been financially bankrupt.

You will fail your way to success.

Fail early, fail often fail forward.

That's advice that I could give you on success is to know that success is merely the hangover of failure on that.

Failure is an essential ingredient in creating a learning atmosphere for you, so that you can accrue those learnings the small, incremental steps of failure and collect enough learning so that you can arrive that success.

It doesn't matter how many times you feel.

It doesn't matter how many times people tell you that you can't do it.

It doesn't matter.

If you don't have a dime in the bank, you will fill your way to success.

You will fail at some point in your life except it you will lose.

You will embarrass yourself.

You will suck at something.

There's no doubt about it.

Embrace it because it's inevitable.

You don't make excuses for the failure.

You grieve it, you feel the pain.

You don't brush it off.

You don't downplay it.

You feel the pain and you don't rush to feel better.

Now, listen, this is a principle of life.

I'm about to tell you to get past it.

You gotta go through it.

That's true in so many areas.

But it's particularly true with failure to get past your failure.

That failure and you gotta go through it.

You can't go around your failure.

You can't go over your failure.

You can't go under your failure.

You can't ignore your failure.

You need to grieve the failure.

Fail early, fail, often fail forward.

If I'm going to fall.

I don't want to fall back on anything except my faith.

I want to fall forward.

I figure at least this way I'll see what I'm going to hit.

You should seek failures, See if you're playing it safe, you're not gonna win.

It's by trying things that you figure out how far you can go.

You got to get outside the box.

You're going to fail.

It's okay.

Okay.

You're going to fail.

And I'm not talking about the tests.

It's one thing we're talking about to your knees, your skin bloody fell.

And that's okay.

Because you know what?

You know down deep inside of all of you.

That's how you learn.

Never be discouraged.

Never hold back.

Give everything you got.

And when you fall throughout life and remember this fall forward, right.

I think we're taught in the system that failure is something that you should be ashamed of.

Failure is for the dumb kids.

Because you get Neff, you get a D, right?

You're not competent.

You didn't comply.

You didn't create the evidence of your worthiness.

You need to be motivated by failure.

How did you learn how to walk?

You crawled when you fell down, busted your tooth, got some blood in your mouth.

Get up and you walk right.

Self directed success doesn't look like an A plus.

It doesn't look like 110 and extra credit and failure isn't a simple as an f.

It's not always Always.

Failure could be very great, right?

And being able to discern what you might arrive at an event or in your life where you think that wow, I've succeeded and you're getting the affirmation from all these outside forces.

But if it's not aligned authentically with to whom what you are, it could very much feel like failure.

You have to dare to suck.

You will never make something great if you are afraid that it's going to suck that it is going to fail, fail early, fail often fail forward.

Um, you know, it's always a little bit frustrating to me when when people have a negative relationship with failure, failure is a massive part of being able to be successful.

You have to get comfortable with failure.

You have to actually seek failure.

Failure is where all of the lessons are fail early, fail often fail forward and that fire in your belly that got you here, keep it, love it, keep throwing logs on it.

It's important.

Your tenacity and your ability to define who you are through those failures will be your ultimate success.
