376: Failure is Necessary for Success

Michael Jordan said, “I can accept failure, everyone fails at something. But I can’t accept not trying.”  

Failure is a necessary part of success. It is not the opposite of success. What if you adapted the idea that the more you fail, the more you will succeed? The first key to doing so is to keep learning from the failure. A second key is to be compassion with yourself which helps you stay motivated and confident.  Show yourself the same kindness as you would a friend.
