We hear the philosophy “embrace your mistakes” or “failure is the path to success” all the time. Maybe. But, it still sucks to fail. Failure is painful no matter how much cheerleading we give ourselves or receive from the sidelines. I think it’s more useful to acknowledge and accept our mistakes and failures as necessary, even if a bit painful at times. The real question is: For what cause or benefit are you willing to endure a few defeats? ____________________ Visit a sponsor of Zen Sammich: mandatetoelevate.com.
