1. There have been a few times in my life that I have failed. When reflecting back on this past semester there is not one in particular that comes to mind. I manage my time very well and ensure that I do not procrastinate when it comes to school. Therefore, I don’t have any failures from this class that I can share. However, I do have a funny moment that happened a few weeks ago. I am a very active individual, whether it be working out, running, biking, skating – you name it, I’m game. I bought new skates for my daughter and me so we could stay active outside while our gyms are closed. Well (lol), I underestimated just how fast I would go down a hill and my ability to be able to stop at the end. That being said, I had two choices; I could either slide across the pavement or brace myself and hit the wall at the end of the hill. I decided the safer option would be to try and brake and use my arms to stop myself by hitting the wall – haha (ouch). Needless to say, I was bound to hurt myself one way or the other. However, I didn’t hit the ground and scrap my body to pieces, I just had a little bruise on the side of my knee.
2. Plain and simple, don’t skate down a steep hill, LOL!

3. Failure is hard. However, it is inevitable and necessary part of life. Hopefully, one takes the time to learn from their failure because through it we can learn great lessons. Failure teaches us to be resilient and persistent. It helps us grow and succeed.
I am not afraid to fail. In failure, I focus on the positive and reflect back on what I learned and how I could have handled what led to me failing differently.
This class has not changed my perspective on failure. If anything, it has been in align with my thoughts and feelings towards it. I have always been willing to take risks and step outside of my comfort zone. In fact, I am perfectly comfortable, being uncomfortable.

Ouch, falling down a steep hill is definitely a tough movement. I'm happy to hear you got up easily and didn't suffer any major physical damage! You have an incredible outlook on failure and I think it is part of the reason why you were able to get up so quickly (metaphorically and physically speaking). Being willing to take risks is a brave and valuable quality and I hope it has many pay offs in the future.
ReplyDeleteSo sorry to hear about your tiny injury! Knees are the worst. I am glad that we all can get a laugh out of failure, sometimes that is the best way to cope with it. Once we can learn from it, I don't necessarily think that it should be deemed as something negative. Failure is healthy and good for the ego. I must say that some of the most successful people in the world will fail and I don't think this is such a bad thing, it keeps them humble.
