DAILY POSITIVE IMPACT – FAILURE CAN PUSH YOU TOWARD SUCCESS

One of the individuals who helped me understand this reality was my High School basketball coach. He gave every returning player on the team my sophomore year instructions on what they needed to do to improve for the next year. I did none of them and he sat me down to explain why I did not make the team my junior year. “Peter, I gave you very specific things you needed to do and you did none of them while most of your returning teammates did everything I asked. If you continue that kind of behavior into adulthood based on what leaders you are working for suggest you do, you will have made a decision to be a failure.” That very clear message has stayed with me, hence my interest in sharing this post.

There is no downside to stepping back from a failure and creating a strategy for moving ahead toward success while not letting the failure lessen your ability to do that. Multiple friends and co-workers have helped me take that approach over the years.
