🥊 Mentorship Minute: Wasted potential is accepting defeat

✅ Join Us In The Virtual Python Community ➡️➡️  https://virtualpythonmeetup.com Let's talk about the pain associated with failure. That pain we feel is a tool we can use to create lasting change in our lives.  Lasting change is what helps us become our future desired selves.    Sometimes we might not have clarity on what we want for our future self.  If you lack that clarity, begin with writing down on paper your vision and recognize that you need to revisit that paper often.  A few days ago, I shared with you the news about record suicide rates associated with IIT student academic failure.  I can not fathom the pain from failure that would make me want to end my life.   I sincerely believe as a global culture, we need to work on our acceptance of failure.  That pain is a good thing.  It is tailored precisely to the skills we need to build to become successful.    Pain is our most excellent learning tool.   Own your failure.   The lessons and skills we learn to overcome failure is a process. We will tell stories about the process for the rest of our life.   Our pain is our story, and is what gives us our unique life experience. What is even more amazing is that no person entirely experiences the chain of pain we each endure because no one fails as we do.   We all have a unique life experience peppered with failure and triumph.   If you believe that last statement, then you must also think that the chain of failure is what gives us the unique skill set we need to position yourself for the success of our desired future self.   Isn't that freakin liberating.  Your failures are an opportunity for greatness and the exact key you seek to unlock the success you want.   Wasted potential is accepting defeat.    You are on this planet for a reason.  Own your life experience by owning the failure.  See the opportunity your pain provides and lean into it.  Enjoy the skills you build on overcoming your failure.   Don't forget to document the journey, so you never forget how your greatness became. --- Send in a voice message: https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/profitablepythonfm/message
