Check out these “Go For It” quotes I came across on Phil Gerbyshak’s Make It Great! site.
He, ironically enough, chooses three quotes on failure to exhort us to aim high. Rosalynn Carter, Henry David Thoreau and Robert Kennedy.
Here is my own: Fear of failure sabotages. Planning for failure instructs.
On your side.
Karl
Karl – I love your additional quote, and think you should explore that more deeply, as to how we can apply that to our lives. It’s quite simple to read, it’s yet another to dive deeply into how we can overcome our fears and move to planning, and I’d love to hear your insights on this powerful topic.
Thanks for taking my idea to a whole new level. Well done!
Phil – If I could shift my perspective on my failures from them being performance defeats that I regret to learning achievements that I exploit, I’d be able to do anything. This is my journey. It’s good to meet one’s fellow travelers.
Thanks for what you are doing!
Karl – It’s tough to shift your thinking in this way, though I find asking myself the question “How does this thinking serve me?” can be a helpful question in the journey.
Let me know how I can help you make it great in 2008!
Phil – I appreciate your candor. I’m simply trying to be a lifelong learner, with failure being one of the many training grounds.
I look forward to interacting with you more in the future!
