Failure

The natural state of life is death:

Every living thing struggles to prevent an early death. Death is the default. Everything dies. Every attempt to live ends in death.

The natural state of trial is failure:

Every attempt at change results in failure. There are unintended consequences, breakthroughs from mistakes, and a long list of non-perfect results. Ambitious people have failed more times than most dare try. Failure is not a bad thing, it just is. It is normal. It is expected. It is necessary. Every human can admit to more failure than success. Success is not an avoidance of failure, but a result of growing despite it.

Let's change how we define failure in relation to ourselves.

• Failure should be embraced.
• Failure is an opportunity to learn, to reflect, to challenge, to grow.
• Failure is not shameful.
• Failure is the default result of trying.
• To fail you must try.

All we can do is try and we should try more often.
