Failure. The way to success.

 We usually hold a meeting on Monday mornings.  We talk about work, ideas and what we want to do.

I also enjoy bringing something to talk about.  Today we talk about a subject dear to my heart.  Failure.  

We all are born failures.  I think if the human race judged itself by success.  We wouldn't exist.  We fail more times than we succeed.  Thank the gods for our lack of literal sense on that.

The points I brought to the 5 minute talk were the following:

How do you define success?

Success is the outcome of failures.  If you have the right mindset.

When you're kid, you don't think about success.  You think about doing and a lot of times what you plan in your kid head don't come out right.  There's a lot of modifications.

However, when we are older we tend to see failure as a negative outcome.  Is it negative?  Sure, there's consequences.  Did you learn anything from it?  And in the learning, what have you gained?

At the end of the day, you either see failure as a learning experience with a good or bad attitude.  Probably helps to have a good attitude.

Be happy with the learning you gain from Failure.  Apply what you learn.  Success, if you survive is attracted by the learning you've done.

Additional notes not spoken at the meeting:

Failure is a constant in a human.  That's how we survive or don't in some cases.  It is the basis for success.

Failure does not define you.  It helps sculpt your character, your wisdom thanks the innovative force of your brain when used with the learning and applying.

A student of life is not afraid of failure.  Be excited, like a child to continue learning and growing.  Will there be pain, crying and complaining.  Certainly.  It is part of the human experiment.
