Today's #leadership quote

“We need to accept that we don’t always make the right decisions, that we’ll screw up royally sometimes. Understand that failure is not the opposite of success, it’s part of success.”- Arianna Huffington

While we strive for perfection, we have to accept that we will always fall short of that goal. We cannot let the pursuit of perfection prevent us from growing and moving forward. If we fail forward and continue to grow we may never be perfect but we will ultimately be successful and achieve what we are capable. All too often we allow the fear of failure to prevent us from taking risks and trying new things. Perhaps we are hoping to avoid ridicule or perhaps we just can't accept the fact that we are not perfect. Great athletes want to compete against the best competition because through that battle they grow as athletes and ultimately perform at their best. They are not afraid to take the shot at the end of the game even though there may be a large chance of missing it and going down to defeat in the process. They realize however that there is no chance of winning if they don't take that shot and that they will grow as competitors if they do. Noone likes to lose but if you can learn and grow from the loss you will live to win another day.
