We’ve all had times where we feel like we’ve failed at something. Recall that time and think about how you handled it. Did you let it defeat you? Did it leave you discouraged enough to never give it a second try? I want to encourage everyone to look at failure in a different light. In fact, I encourage everyone to fail forward if you can. Let’s start to see failure as a means of finding your unique route to success. We are all bound to hit road bumps and potholes, but even if we end up getting a flat, we’ll change the tire and keep going. As entrepreneurs and creatives, we decide to take on many risks. The way we handle failure determines our next move, and you never know where that might lead you. Albert Einstein tells us that failure is just success in the making, which is an important mentality to adopt in order to act accordingly in the face of failure. Always find the success in your failures, no matter how big or small. Adapt, and proceed to chase the bag behind your dreams.

Let us know how you’ve handled failure in the past. What would you do differently? Comment below!
