You know that project you’re anxious about starting?
I learned a stone-cold fact that may help you with it.
You’re not anxious about starting. You’re anxious about the story you’ve made up about what will happen. It says this will blow up in your face and you’ll be a laughingstock.
When we are willing to acknowledge that one fact, then failure doesn’t become an option any longer.
Failure WILL happen. It’s supposed to happen. But that isn’t a bad thing. It’s all a part of you getting from A to B and from B to C.
Not a single person has sailed with perfect water to reach their destination.
There’s a story at every turn. From triumph to failure, from the highs to the lows.
Make sure you embrace it all, because that’s what makes a wonderful story worth reading.
