Embracing Failure: Unlocking Purpose Through Fearless Learning

“The irony is the very thing we need to do to enable us to acquire a skill or a craft is a taboo in society. We have made failure shameful, which is hindering us from growing and developing to the capacity we’re capable of reaching.”

What if the fear of failure is the only barrier between you and your most fulfilling life? How can you shift your perspective to see failure as an essential and valuable part of your journey toward growth and purpose?

Something To Reflect On

A Quote From Richard Feynman

“Fall in love with some activity, and do it! Nobody ever figures out what life is all about, and it doesn't matter. Explore the world. Nearly everything is really interesting if you go into it deeply enough. Work as hard and as much as you want to on the things you like to do the best. Don't think about what you want to be, but what you want to do. Keep up some kind of a minimum with other things so that society doesn't stop you from doing anything at all.”

― Richard Feynman

A question to ask ourselves: Are you focusing too much on what you love to do instead of who you want to be? Does being discouraged by failures simply mean what you do is not for you or that you didn't try hard enough?
