Learn to Shake Off Your Blunders
Your capacity for occasional blunders is inseparable from your capacity to reach your goals. No one wins them all, and your failures, when they happen, are just part of your growth. Shake off your blunders. How will you know your limits without an occasional failure? Never quit. Your turn will come.” — Og Mandino
I set goals every day and then go to work to reach them. I don’t always reach my goal but the learning I receive on the way is always rich, if I stop to mine the gold that’s buried in the dirt pile.
This week I’m giving a speech at a TEDx event in my home town. My goal is to give my best speech ever! Will I achieve it? Who knows but amidst my fears and anxiety, I’m committed to preparation and growing in the process. If I stumble, I plan on picking up something up while I’m down there and keep on going.
What goal are you pursuing that will include the occasional blunder along the way?
May you see failure as part of the process on your way to achieving goals that are worth pursuing. Without failure the growth you desire will never be possible.
