FAIL FORWARD – Turn Every Failure into a Stepping Stone · Motivational Podcast

• 0:08
  Speaker 1: I made my decision and stood next to you, and
• 0:11
  Speaker 1: it was an honor, and I wouldn't change that for
• 0:15
  Speaker 1: the whole world, not one minute of it.
• 0:33
  Speaker 2: The difference between average people and achieving people is their
• 0:38
  Speaker 2: perception of and response to failure. Nothing else has the
• 0:45
  Speaker 2: same kind of impact on people's ability to accomplish their desire.
• 0:50
  Speaker 2: How people see failure and deal with it impacts every
• 0:53
  Speaker 2: aspect of their lives. Certainly, all people like to think
• 0:58
  Speaker 2: of themselves as above average, but achievers seem to leave
• 1:02
  Speaker 2: average in the dust. Failure is far more common than success,
• 1:09
  Speaker 2: Poverty is more prevalent than wealth, and disappointment more normal
• 1:14
  Speaker 2: than a rival. Because in life, the question is not
• 1:23
  Speaker 2: if you will have problems, but how you're going to
• 1:26
  Speaker 2: deal with your problems. Are you going to fail forward
• 1:30
  Speaker 2: or backward? You have the potential to overcome any problems, mistakes,
• 1:40
  Speaker 2: or misfortunes. All you have to do is learn to
• 1:44
  Speaker 2: fail forward. Now the tables are turned by hope, as
• 1:48
  Speaker 2: spirit isn't crushed. Well, if you don't do anything about it,
• 2:14
  Speaker 2: then everything just stays the same. Can you honestly say you're.
• 2:18
  Speaker 3: Okay with that?
• 2:25
  Speaker 4: Each of us lives dependent and bound by our individual
• 2:30
  Speaker 4: knowledge and our awareness. All that is what we call reality. However,
• 2:38
  Speaker 4: both knowledge and awareness are equivocal. One's reality might be
• 2:43
  Speaker 4: another's illusion. We all live inside our own fantasies.
• 2:49
  Speaker 2: You are the only person who can really label what
• 2:52
  Speaker 2: you do a failure. Success is not a destination where
• 3:00
  Speaker 2: you arrive one day. Instead, it is the journey you take.
• 3:04
  Speaker 4: They kid you're gonna do it, Yes I am.
• 3:10
  Speaker 2: I have to, and whether or not you succeed comes
• 3:15
  Speaker 2: from what you do day to day. Failure works the
• 3:18
  Speaker 2: same way. It's not someplace you arrive, it's how you
• 3:23
  Speaker 2: deal with life along the way. Truly, no one can
• 3:30
  Speaker 2: conclude that he's failed until he breathes his last breath.
• 3:34
  Speaker 2: Until then, he's still in process and the jury is
• 3:39
  Speaker 2: still out. I absolutely detest the bullies in town who
• 3:47
  Speaker 2: pray and pick on the week, for what really bothers
• 3:50
  Speaker 2: me is people like you who just let it happen
• 3:52
  Speaker 2: and don't fight back. I really wish I were stronger.
• 4:00
  Speaker 2: People think failure is the enemy. It's not. Most people
• 4:04
  Speaker 2: try to avoid failure like a plague, but it takes
• 4:07
  Speaker 2: adversity to create success. People think failure is final.
• 4:19
  Speaker 3: It's not.
• 4:21
  Speaker 2: Even what may appear to be a huge failure. Does
• 4:24
  Speaker 2: it need to keep you from achieving the terrible truth
• 4:33
  Speaker 2: is that all roads to achieve it lead through the
• 4:36
  Speaker 2: land of failure. Are we going to sleep life away,
• 4:42
  Speaker 2: avoiding failure at all costs, or are we going to
• 4:45
  Speaker 2: wake up and realize that failure is simply a price
• 4:48
  Speaker 2: we pay to achieve success? All right, won't lose, I'll
• 5:02
  Speaker 2: win no matter what.
• 5:18
  Speaker 3: Wake up to reality. Nothing ever goes as planned in
• 5:28
  Speaker 3: this accursed world. The longer you live, the more you
• 5:34
  Speaker 3: will realize that the only things that truly exist in
• 5:38
  Speaker 3: this reality are merely pain, suffering, and futility. Listen, everywhere
• 5:48
  Speaker 3: you look in this world, wherever there is light, there
• 5:51
  Speaker 3: will always be shadows to be found as well. As
• 5:56
  Speaker 3: long as there is a concept of victors, the vanquished
• 5:59
  Speaker 3: will all so exist. The selfish intent of wanting to
• 6:06
  Speaker 3: preserve peace initiates wars, and hatred is born in order
• 6:12
  Speaker 3: to protect love. There are nexuses causal relationships that cannot
• 6:17
  Speaker 3: be separated.
• 6:19
  Speaker 1: It's time you bit the bullet and started caring about
• 6:22
  Speaker 1: something with all your heart and energy. But you can't
• 6:25
  Speaker 1: care about it if you're always holding yourself back in
• 6:27
  Speaker 1: case it doesn't work out. At last, I enter a
• 6:33
  Speaker 1: fight for which I don't know the outcome.
• 6:36
  Speaker 3: The tension is mounting in my neck.
• 6:48
  Speaker 2: Get a new definition of failure. See it as the
• 6:51
  Speaker 2: price you pay for progress. If you can change the
• 6:54
  Speaker 2: way you see failure, you gain the strength to keep
• 6:57
  Speaker 2: running the race. Failure is simply a price we pay
• 7:02
  Speaker 2: to achieve success. Is that all you got for me?
• 7:19
  Speaker 1: Damn, I can't stop thinking about it.
• 7:22
  Speaker 2: I gotta relax, I gotta calm down. I'm going to win.
• 7:26
  Speaker 2: I will win when you're angry and bunch, full blast,
• 7:32
  Speaker 2: full blast.
• 7:33
  Speaker 3: Right.
• 8:08
  Speaker 4: Now, let's do this. In this final battle, there will
• 8:50
  Speaker 4: be no boundaries. The only rule is kill or be killed.
• 8:58
  Speaker 2: What you have to tell your self is I'm not
• 9:01
  Speaker 2: a failure. I failed at doing something. Every successful person
• 9:06
  Speaker 2: is someone who failed, yet never looked at himself as
• 9:10
  Speaker 2: a failure.
• 9:16
  Speaker 1: I won't just throw people away, get let go. I
• 9:20
  Speaker 1: never would have gotten this far without those guys' help.
• 9:23
  Speaker 1: And whenever I was getting my head rearranged, it was
• 9:25
  Speaker 1: always because I cared about them that I could win.
• 9:29
  Speaker 2: And that's precisely the reason you've been limited.
• 9:31
  Speaker 4: Up till now.
• 9:32
  Speaker 2: You're too soft. You don't need anyone but yourself. Don't
• 9:35
  Speaker 2: you understand that.
• 9:52
  Speaker 1: Get on your feet. I'm firing one last shot with
• 9:55
  Speaker 1: all I've got, and it's gonna end this fight one
• 9:57
  Speaker 1: way or another. No more stupid surprises their face. You
• 10:02
  Speaker 1: show me everything you've got right now. If I win
• 10:06
  Speaker 1: this time, I don't ever want to see you back up.
• 11:17
  Speaker 2: All great achievers are given multiple reasons to believe they
• 11:21
  Speaker 2: were failures, but in spite of that, they persevere
