Failure Is Not An Option

“Failure is not an option!” 

– NASA

We see it all the time, but based on your mindset it may be HINDERING you from GREATNESS!

“Failure is not an option” is good when your mindset says, “If I fail, it’s not a failure if I continue to work towards the outcome!” (Failure is not an option)

“Failure is not an option” can be DETRIMENTAL when you don’t try things because “failure is not an option!” 

You cannot enter the race if you’re afraid to lose! 

You cannot love if you’re afraid of pain! 

You will never go in the sunshine if you’re afraid of the possibility of rain!

STORY TIME! When I taught 9th-12th grade students at a local university many of the students who had the wrong “failure is not an option” mindset usually had plenty test anxiety and failed their test because they were afraid of failing. We usually attract the thing we are most afraid of or focus on. 

When I conditioned them (over a year) to think differently their confidence grew and their test grades reflected their changed mindset because they were no longer holding onto the “failure is not an option” mindset!

Choose your words wisely! Make sure your words align with the right mindset! Be inspired!
