Loved @BostonMarathon champion @Des_Linden's thoughts on failure on the @richroll podcast: richroll.com/podcast/des-li…: "Failure is an action, not an identity" (1/5) #MondayMotivation
"Last year was the big thing where "I’m trying to win the Boston Marathon". I put it out there very publicly. Afterwards, it didn’t happen, and I said I failed and that’s okay. People were like “No, you didn’t fail! You were amazing! And this and that." (2/5)
"I wanted to do this thing and I failed to do it. I failed.
But failure is an action, it’s not an identity." (3/5)
But failure is an action, it’s not an identity." (3/5)
"We do it all the time. And if you learn from it, you get better and that’s how you grow. Being super afraid of failure, you kind of miss the point. Those are the lessons. That’s where you learn the most. You fail your way to success." (4/5)
