There Are No Failures Just Repeated Opportunities

There are no failures except for the failure to try.



I was listening to an interview that Simon Chan was conducting with a lady named Kelli, who is a very successful network marketer. I don't remember her last name, but I remember that it was long!



She said, "There are no failures, just repeated opportunities." I thought that was pretty profound.


There Are No Failures Except For the Failure to Try

As we go through life, sometimes we try to do different things, but sometimes we don't do things and sometimes we don't even make the attempt to try! In other words, our failure is the failure to try.



We don't give ourselves a chance to see if we can be successful. We just don't even attempt it because we don't want to fail.



Some things we persue for just a bit longer and we do get a bit better, but then that fear comes back to haunt us and we quit trying again. We feel like we have failed.



Once in a while, we will latch on to something that we follow through with and we are able to fight through the failures. We succeed and we become very good at it.



How Can Failure Lead to Success?

One good example is learning how to ride a bicylce. If you stop trying to learn how to ride a bike the first time you fall or crash, you will never be able to ride a bike.



Learning how to play a musical instrument is another great example. When you first start learning how to play, you are going to make a lot of mistakes, and it is going to sound bad!



When I was young, I started learning how to play a saxaphone. And it sounded horrible! There is nothing that sounds worse than a saxaphone played badly unless it is the bagpipes played badly!



I played for a couple of years, and I never did get very good at it, but I did get better than when I had started.



Later in life, I decided that I wanted to learn how to play a guitar. When you are first learning how to play a guitar, the first few months your fingers are going to get a little sore.



So you not only have the fear of failing when you start learning but you also have some actual physical discomfort while learning. IF you perserve and push through the rough times, you will eventually learn to play the guitar.



That is the thing about failure. If you fear failure, it will keep you from attempting to do many things that you could succeed at if you will just push through the fear of failure. Without failure there is no success.



The second part of her quote was about repeated opportunities. There are no failures, there are only repeated opportunities. If you look at it from that perspective, after every failure there is an opportunity to try again. A repeated opportunity.



As long as you are doing those repeated opportunities, you really haven't failed, because you are not done yet. You only fail when you stop and you haven't accomplished anything.



Failure is not being unable to accomplish something, failure is when you stop trying. As long as you are trying, you can improve. You don't have to be great, you just need to get better.



That's my little thought I gained while doing my studying, and I am passing it along to you.
