“I believe you have to fail fast and be proud of your failures. If you don’t fail often, you are not trying hard enough” Jessica Herrin, CEO, Founder of Stella and Dot

I think this is a really great quote.  We’ve all heard the expression, If at first you don’t succeed, try, try again.  A lot of us have grown up, however, with the ‘Survival of the Fittest’ mentality.  It’s in our nature to feel that failing should be something we’re embarrassed about.  Whether in your professional or personal life, if you do not succeed in what you’ve set out to accomplish, you will most likely have a negative outlook about that situation.

It’s tough to be optimistic all of the time and not dwell on things when they don’t go your way, but you should keep in mind, failing doesn’t always have to be a bad thing.  It allows you to reflect on the situation and hopefully learn from your mistakes.  You can become a stronger, smarter person if you treat each failure as a stepping stone to where you’d like to be in your life.  I like to keep the saying, everything happens for a reason in my head to remind myself that this mishap will eventually make me a stronger person, even if I don’t know how or why right away.

Try not to get discouraged, no one is perfect.  There’s always something to learn, new ways to grow, different viewpoints to explore and new opportunities for you along the way.
