Do you learn more from failing than you do from succeeding?
It is accepted wisdom that we learn a lot more from making a mess of things than we do from effortlessly flying through. But why?
Is it because there are more lessons when we fail? Or is it because we don’t examine the cause of our success as much as we analyse the cause of our failure?
I believe it is the latter – there are just as many lessons to learn from happiness, ease, joy and success. But we don’t tend to pay any attention when things are going well. As soon as things go bad, we get out the magnifying glass and take it apart!
What’s going well in your life right now? Why is it going well? What are you doing to contribute to this ‘well’ness? What are the factors that make up a happy, successful life for you? Are you doing them?
Make the decision today to learn just as much from what you are doing right as what you are getting wrong.
