"A man who carries a cat by the tail learns something he can learn in no other way." -Mark Twain
You've failed. Scary, right? Did you ever stop to ask yourself why you've considered something a failure? We often neglect to define failure. We just feel like we failed.
We hear a lot about goal setting, but we don't often hear about failure setting. Failure is something other than not reaching our goal. There is a gray area between success and failure that allows us to re-adjust our path and continue forging ahead with new knowledge.
The gray area is where we remain unbroken with the ability to use that new knowledge to create new ideas, solve new problems and have a renewed sense of purpose.
There is more great news about the gray area. It holds tremendous advantages for those brave enough to enter. The few that do will learn things that there is no other way of learning. So grab the cat by the tail and let's get started!
