Designing a passionate life will include failures along the way. Being clear about your passions and setting goals for living your passions will include failure. How you respond to the failure is a measure of your mindset. You can learn a lot from failure. It all depends on how you choose to look at the failure.
Every failure brings an opportunity for learning. It can also give you different ideas on how to try again but with a different approach. Remember, living passionately is enjoying the journey along the way. It isn't all about the destination nor is it a straight line to the destination. Often times after failing you can get a big ah-ha and your life takes off in a new direction that you would never have thought of if you had succeeded.
Every successful person has failed more times than they have succeeded. Thomas Edison ran over 50,000 experiments before he got the light bulb to work. That is focus, persistence, and holding to your vision. People are afraid to fail because of possible ridicule, a lack of conviction, commitment, and confidence in their goal. It all comes down to mindset. Successful people embrace failure. They use it to learn and move forward.
I think our society has created such a strong image of 'successful' people that all we see is the end result. We rarely are told about all of the failures along the way. Successful people are passionate about what they do, they are focused and committed.
