I’ve written here and here about failure. It is an essential part of life with which I am well aquainted, and often well tethered. There are days when I feel like I drag my failures behind me like ghostly shakels, their clanging only heard by my ears.
So imagine the freedom I felt when I heard Sean Carraso tell a group of the worlds best and brightest, “Fail.”
“Fail” he said, “and then fail again. When you are all done failing. Go and fail some more. If you’re not failing, then you’re not outside of your element and you are not growing. So fail.”
I could hear the click as my shackels unlocked. These failures of mine will no longer bind me. I don’t need to face them with a downward glance, or to pretend they aren’t there. They should be celebrated, because if I have failed than I have done something which many people never will.
I tried.
So here’s to a new perspective and a wish for my future:I hope to fail, on an epic scale.
Beacuse someday I’ll succeed, and that will be an adventure worth telling about.
Continuing the adventure,
Jess
