It is OK to hate failure. Failure is no fun. Failure can drain your energy. Failure can even feel devastating.
But if we dwell in that hatred of failure then we will never try again in order to avoid that feeling in the future.
Today we tap to have a healthy relationship with the feeling of failure.
I Hate Failure
(audio 3m30s)
I hate failure…I hate failing…I hate having a plan and having it go wrong…I hate hoping for better…And having it go sideways…I hate having things blow up in my face…I hate when things don’t work out…It’s OK for me to hate these things…When I’m frustrated with failure…When I’m disappointed with progress…When I’m overwhelmed with what is going on…That is the part of me…That simply wants better…That is the part of me…That wants more successful…That is the part of me…That wants to move forward…I give myself permission…To recognize that when I feel frustration about failure…It is the part of me that only wants better…It is the part of me that wants more…I hear the part of me that hates failure…I acknowledge it…And I choose not to live in it…I choose to hear what it has to say…I choose to respond to that…And I choose to move on…It’s OK to not be OK with failure…But I won’t stay in that hate…I want to use that as motivation to move forward…I want to use that as motivation to take action…I want to use that as motivation to be fully present to who I am and where I am…I give myself permission to not love failure…To learn from failure…And to let it go.
This is excellent Gene. Even though I generally find myself able to quickly get out of negative thinking, this has brought an entirely new light to certain ‘ways of being’ that I experience and THIS is the answer for the particular choice I make at those times. Thank you!
