That right there is the magic. It all lies in the mental mind-shift, of how you see things. When things don’t work out, instead of calling it a failure, reframe the incident as a learning experience.
Allowing yourself to fail is quite a freeing experience for several reasons. First of all, it is never as bad as you thought. Secondly, you learn about what does not work. Thirdly, you build the inner muscle of perseverance, to keep going and keep working. This alone builds the strength to succeed and I am convinced that this alone helps the breakthrough and success appear.
You know a few weeks ago I spent several hours organizing my articles into categories. In a way it was a total failure and took several hours of my life. I later found an easier faster way to organize everything, which was as simple as turning all these newsletters I have written over the last several months into a blog. But on the other hand, I learned to accept that sometimes we spend time on things that don’t work out and that’s OK. The energy alone of working hard is part of what creates the magic of finding a better solution.
The final word: You only really fail if you give up trying or don’t start altogether. So, are you ready to get started? What have you been avoiding out of fear and what are you willing to do today to take action anyways? Report your insights and action steps over in the comments.
