That’s a great way to put it. Additionally, maybe learning some good judo rolls help too, so when you do fall, it’s easier to bounce back up

The trick of things, I think, is to learn to stumble often without falling nearly as often. It’s easy to remain comfortable, but, as you say, we don’t grow when we’re comfortable. Actually, I grow horizontally and gravitationally, but that’s another story entirely.

Great post!

@ Jannie

What rocks is you’re growing in your passion … and you can’t beat that.

@ Louisa

Yeah, being good at everything gets boring. That’s what all the perfect people tell me (when they let me hang out with them.) Luckily, I’m blessed with a bunch of flawes to work on

I think it would be very boring to be good at everything, you’d have no challenges or things you’d like to improve.

If I had to be great at everything I tried I’d never get out out bed. WAIT! That didn’t come out right. I mean I’d stick my head in the sand and stay there.

What an absolutely wonderful and inspirational post. One to print out and keep close at hand, for sure.

Okay, off now to “fail fast” at my guitar pratice, so I grow instead of die!
