Jeff Mays Guest Blog: Winning Starts with Failing

Learn From Your Failures

But every try, I adjusted. I said to myself…
“This time, try both legs not one at a time.”
“Move back further for more speed on this one.”
“Throw your hands up and lean forward more.”
“Trust you won’t bite it.”
I was actually kinda scared. A few people had come in, and I noticed they were watching what I was doing. We all have self doubt.
Then, on the last one, I visualized me on top of the box. And said to myself, “You can do it. THIS IS IT.”
Here’s a supercut of everything that took place:

And here’s the big takeaway…
How many times have you failed one time then quit? Or even multiple times and gave up?
I know I have.
Or maybe you’ve felt sorry for yourself. Or made up the excuse that it won’t work.
I’m guilty of those, too.

So Here’s My Challenge for You Today

DON’T QUIT.
Fail. Adjust. Fail. Adjust. Learn from your mistakes. Winning starts with failing.
COMPETE against yourself. Look for those little competitions.
VISUALIZE yourself doing it. Change what you see and most importantly, what you SAY TO YOURSELF. Many times it’s all in your head.
ADJUST and improve every time. Little adjustments add up.
PRACTICE makes perfect. (It’s corny but true.)
TRUST the process. You can do it.
You got this… whatever it is!
