From Failure To Failure - With Winston Churchill

I love Winston Churchill’s definition of success:

Success consists of going from failure to failure without loss of enthusiasm.

What would it look like to start running toward failure today? (Like this ⤵︎)

THINK

Think about the last time you failed at something you really care about. How did you respond? Did you feel heavy, sad, discouraged, depressed, hopeless? I did until...

WIN OR LEARN.

Those three words changed everything for me. Jocko Willink was the first one to break it down so simply and help me conquer a lifetime of perfectionism by reframing failure as the only way to learn. Does a baby speak perfectly the first time? Do you ride a bike without ever falling off? No!

Anything worth doing is worth doing badly (at first).

Now I run toward failure because that's how I will get 1% better today. It's only a failure if I fail to learn from it.

To the ancient Stoic philosophers, the obstacle is the way – it’s an opportunity, a chance to be better, to do better, to start over, to revaluate, to practice.

ACT

Give yourself the freedom to fail today.

Think of one thing you want to do, or be, that is just out of reach – something you know you're not quite good enough for yet, something that scares you. That's your challenge.
Write it down on paper and stuff it in your pocket with your phone.
Every time you reach for your phone today, remember your challenge. Imagine yourself in your mind accomplishing it. Say out loud "I can do it. I am doing it. I will do it. I must do it."

Now go fail your way to a very small win today.

KEEP GOING 💪

– Daniel
