Failing Forward ...

In his book, Failing Forward, John Maxwell discusses how: 

"the difference between average people and achieving people

is their perception of and response to failure".

Here is a summary of the main 15 points:

1.    Realise there is one major difference between average people and achieving people;

2.    Learn a new definition of failure;

3.    Remove the 'you' from failure;

4.    Take action and reduce your fear;

5.    Change your response to failure by accepting responsibility;

6.    Don't let the failure from outside get inside you;

7.    Say good-bye to yesterday;

8.    Change yourself, and your world changes;

9.    Get over yourself and start giving yourself;

10.   Find the benefit in every bad experience;

11.   If at first you do succeed, try something harder;

12.   Learn from a bad experience and make it a good experience;

13.   Work on the weakness that weakens you;

14.   Understand there's not much difference between success and failure;

15.   Get up, Get going, Get over it.

Re-read through each of these points slowly. There is tremendous wisdom in these words! Major on what is important!
