OVERCOMING FAILURE 🧠

A great time for me to practice what I preach, with my first mindset post! 🙋🏼‍♀️

Fear of failure is one of the biggest obstacles that hold people back - from making small decisions to pursuing big dreams. But failure shouldn’t be feared, it should be embraced. “A life lived in fear is a life half lived” - Baz Luhrmann.

There are many differences that separate the winners in life, relationships & business from those who are struggling & falling by the wayside. One big difference is how they handle failure. For example, successful entrepreneurs have a positive mindset around the experience of failure. When they fail, they look at it as a result.  They took "x" steps and produced "y" results. "Y" didn't work, so it's back to the drawing board to change the formula and try again. This can be applied to anything! From job interviews to executive decisions, from getting a first date to maintaining a longterm relationship. Once you’ve eliminated what doesn’t work, you have a greater chance at succeeding now that you’re better prepared to try again.👩🏼‍🔬

Albert Einstein once said, "You cannot solve a problem with the same level of thinking that created it."  And, "The definition of insanity is doing the same thing over and over again and expecting a different result." What these statements teach is, in order to overcome failure, you must think differently and act differently. It’s what separates the ordinary from the extraordinary! And you, my friend, are extraordinary. You deserve to push past your comfort zone and realise the level of success you’re capable and worthy of. 🌱🏆

To wrap it up (or, rap it up if you’d like to hear me attempt to deliver the info that way), failure is what allows you to learn and grow! If you quit as soon as you meet with failure, you will always remain exactly where you are. 🙅🏼‍♀️

So, what are you waiting for?! Get back up, try again. Stand tall. Shoot your shot. The worst that can happen is that it doesn’t work. If that’s the case, read this all again.

You’ve got this. 💪🏼👊🏼

ME. Hello! I’m new here. Hi! *waves

I’m so excited to introduce you to A Good Word About: an online space dedicated to sharing positive posts about life, mindset, people, places & things.

Words are so powerful and in an online world that attracts millions of listening minds, I want to share good things. I want to spread good news, great reviews, thumbs up and 5 stars. Positive things. Productive things. Helpful things. Enlightening things. Happy things. “Oh-my-gosh-YES-I-needed-to-hear-that” things. And that’s what you can expect to find here! If I don’t like something, I won’t post about it. If I do, I’ll invest my time delivering it to you so that you too may be inspired to try, learn, buy, feel, explore, discover.

I’m also hoping to normalise and address challenges that we can face as individuals, as to elicit comfort around some potentially uncomfortable topics and feelings and motivate self-growth and evolution. No road is too long when travelled with good company, so just know that I’m right here with you. We’ve got this! 👊🏼

Certified as a Life Coach, Counsellor, Results Coach and Personal Trainer, and an ongoing commitment to learning and understanding mental health, wellness, psychology, relationships and communication, as well as 20+ years in the hospitality and service industry and a passion for travel and adventures, I’ve decided to deliver a marvellous, conglomerate of all of the above. And, yes, that is both the worlds longest sentence AND the first time I’ve ever written ‘conglomerate’. What a word! 👏🏼

So, I’m here practicing one of the things I hope to inspire… which is to take that first step! Be brave, follow your dreams, believe in yourself, set goals, work towards something, have hope, be future focussed and solution oriented, and - of course - smile along the way and feel grateful for the adventure.

It’s never too late to become what you might have been. So, here I am. Opportunity taken and ready to figure it all out along the way.
