All things have the possibility to fail.

I’ve learned that the earlier I recognize all things could fail, the better I do at managing along the way.

As we realize something could fail, emotions arise and threaten well-being and even possible success.

For example…If I’m working on a project and talk with a key stakeholder and realize the task has been attempted in the past without success. There is value in information about why it failed before but actually the main piece sticking out to me is realizing that I may fail.

When I recognize the possibility of failure early on, I buffer those strong emotions from clouding my judgement and ultimately my success.

True success is less about being perfect and more about being perpetual.

Less stress and worry. More grit and determination.

Often we know the next right thing to do. Often we are supported.

Let’s work to acknowledge possible failure early so we can buffer that fear as we go.
