Fail Early, Fail Often

JK Rowling says, “It is impossible to live without failing at something, unless you live so cautiously that you might as well not have lived at all—in which case, you fail by default”.

All truly successful people have failed. It’s part of getting there. Show me someone who appears successful, who says they’ve never failed, and they are either lying or are the most incredibly lucky people on the planet.

No, I’m not advocating that you should intentionally fail. And I certainly don’t recommend you make the same mistakes more than once. But I am saying you can never become successful if you are unwilling to fail.

Unless you recognize that failing is part of success, you will experience way more frustration than you should. Learn to embrace failure as part of the learning process and as part of achieving success, and you will make much more progress. You’ll also enjoy the ride a whole lot more.
