Episode 2653:

Lea Genders explores the concept of failure, not as a defeat but as a crucial step in finding one's true path. By embracing failure and understanding when it's a signal to change direction, we can discover our authentic purpose and build resilience.

Read along with the original article(s) here: https://www.leagendersfitness.com/news/the-other-f-word-failure

Quotes to ponder:

"Failure is a dirty word, the other F word. We don't always like to admit to it, but failure is a part of the process."

"I realize now that when I was looking for the life lesson in my failure and asking myself what could I have done differently, the only answer that ever came up was, 'not do it in the first place.'"

"I failed because I wasn't on the right path. If I wouldn't have failed, I may have climbed the wrong ladder, made more money, with a higher-level position, with more responsibility, more stress, and further away from my real purpose."
