I’m sure you’ve heard the term “fail forward.”
What does it really mean?
Basically, failure is good. And truth be told, it’s actually an essential step on the way to your ultimate success.
Think about it: If everything always goes according to plan, and you hit all your exercise and nutrition goals 100% of the time, does that make you successful?
Not really. I’d argue that it makes you successful at aspiring to be ordinary.
If you never fail, it means that you’re stuck in your comfort zone.
In order to succeed, you’ll need to venture outside of it.
No matter what new skill or habit you’re working on, you have to be bad before you can be good.
And the way you become good is … keep trying.
Here’s an example: If you’re just getting started with fitness, learn to embrace being bad at it in the beginning. That’s the only precursor to becoming good at it. It’s a necessary step that can’t be skipped.
Now … here’s where the REAL magic happens …
If you’ve been doing it for a while and are pretty competent now … NEVER forget how it felt when you started. This will really help you appreciate how much you’ve improved.
It’s also a great reminder that wherever you are in your journey, there’s still a long way to go.
And that’s the best part.
