episode 3: 3 - Redefining Failure
In this episode, we discuss the ever fraught fear of failure. Big or small the thought of it explicitly or inexplicitly surfaces regularly, and yet do we ever reexamine our relationship and perception of it? Albeit complex we seek to discuss what it might look like to redefine that relationship and it's importance to our growth.
New belief: There is no such thing as failure. Only failure to learn.
While you listen here are some questions you might like to consider when overcoming failure:
- What would I try if I knew I could not fail?
- What is the worst that could happen?
- If I did fail, what could be the likely causes?
- ...And how would I recover from that failure
- What if I succeed - what would that look like?
- How can I take one small step into...xyz!
- What if I could not fail?
- What would you do if you weren't afraid?
