"Failure is NOT an option." ...WRONG.Here's a short article on why I believe failure is definitely an option:

I'm so tired of hearing parents, teachers, and colleagues say that failing isn't an option. They're WRONG, WRONG, WRONG, WRONG, WRONG. I mean think about it, failure is apart of life! If you don't fail, you don't learn, and if you don't learn anything you'll never change. If you're not failing you're not innovating enough. If you're not failing you're obviously not challenging yourself enough let alone taking any risks. If you have failed at least you tried.

There are a lot of well known individuals who've failed their way to success: Oprah Winfrey, Stephen Spielberg, Walt Disney, Stephen King, Vincent Van Gogh, Michael Jordan and many, many more!

GO OUT THERE AND FAIL. Fail forward. Meaning learn from your failure(s). You'll learn so much. You'll learn who you are and how strong you are as an individual, what it's like to be resilient, and what your true passions are.

I hope you fail today. I hope you fail forward time and time again.
