#51 Failure Is Part of Growth
In this question-and-quote episode of Between The Ears, Arnold Beekes asks: what do you feel in your body right now? He invites you to take a few seconds and scan every part of your body, from your toes to your ears, noticing tension, relaxation, pain or nothing at all, and asks what your body is telling you. The quote reflects how education and upbringing teach us to prevent failure at all costs, which is why failing fast and often, as the startup world requires, is so difficult. Arnold’s message is that failure is part of growth. If you never fail, you are either not growing or not doing something challenging enough. He suggests you don’t judge yourself for it, and instead compliment yourself: at least I tried, at least I’m learning, I’m growing.

Welcome, I'm Arnold and this is the question and quote version of the Between the Ears podcast. The goal is to enable you to unleash and use your uniqueness. Question, what do you feel in your body right now? So take a few seconds and scan basically every part of your body from your toes until your ears and scan everything.
Just quickly visit each part of your body and is there some tension? Maybe you feel relaxed in certain parts? Is there some pain? Is something hurting you? Is there nothing? So feel your body. What is your body telling you? Quote, in education and in upbringing we're taught to prevent failure at all costs and that is why failing fast and often as required especially in the startup world is so difficult. But anyway, failure is a part of growth.
Failure is not something which you should evade or should not happen. No, I would say rather the opposite. If you don't fail you're not growing or you're not doing something which is challenging enough.
So failure is okay. Failure is fine. Don't judge yourself for it.
I would say it's rather the opposite. Compliment yourself. Hey, I'm failing.
At least I tried. At least I'm learning. I'm growing.
And remember, your spark is only useful if it lights up the room.
