Failure is not the end, practice courage!!

Do you know who was cut from their high school basketball team? Michael Jordan. Do you know who was cut from a broadcast for being too emotional? Oprah Winfrey. The Chicken Soup for the Soul authors endured more than 150 rejections before their first book was published.

Re-think and re-frame failure. This is what keeps us moving forward. When we set out to do something, and it doesn’t turn out as planned, we can learn to grow from that. Think of courage like a muscle. It’s something we build with practice, time and experience. When you’re trying
something new, it’s ok to take a healthy risk, even if you’re not sure you’ll succeed.

Action step: Think about a time in your life when you felt like you failed and re-frame it.What did you learn from it? How did you grow? How did that experience shape you into the person you are today?
