Daily Inspiration: "Take pride in your losses because they teach you about your wins!" - Futurist Jim Carroll
People hide from their failure.
They shouldn't.
Because often, it's the only way to get to success.
Your wins are informed by your losses. Your success is defined by your failure. Moving forward always comes after a few steps back. Achieving your goals always comes after your missteps in trying to achieve them.
You'll always do worse before you do better.
This attitude has always informed everything I do. When I learned to ski late in life, success only came after some spectacularly bad moments. Learning to golf involved regularly going into the water before I managed to get over it fairly consistently. Learning Linux on my own involved blowing up a lot of well-functioning computer systems until I learned how not to.
You might have seen in the last few weeks a few notes apologizing in case I sent a few duplicates of my Daily Inspiration. This is because I was amid a complex voyage to move all of my servers - jimcarroll.com, my mailing list system at insight.jimcarroll.com, my other inspiration site at daily.jimcarroll.com, as well as a bunch of family and friends sites - onto a new server infrastructure that would cut my monthly costs in half. It was a complex project, and seemed that for every step forward, I was taking three back.
Until I wasn't, and success was to be found.
There's a saying that is often shared - 'fail early, fail fast, fail often!'
There couldn't be a better mindset for moving yourself into tomorrow!
