Single Point of Failure
"I will fail my test"- my daughter's words
My daughter recently started college. I am so proud of her. My first baby is in college.
As any parent, I have my worries. She is a very focused person. I have even written posts about her laser focus.
What worries me is that with that focus I am seeing a weakness. The weakness is a willingness to stop if she does not get a concept the first time. This is the fixed mindset I have written about in the past.
The fixed mindset is all up to us to change. As Henry Ford said, "If you think you can, or you think you can't, you are right." So what can we do?
In my world, the idea that I can fail excites me. That means an opportunity to learn and stretch. Any fall means an opportunity to jump up higher than I was before. I will not let a single point of failure stop my forward progress. At best it will make me go sideways.
All you can control is your action. Empty your mind and move toward your fear and see it disappear. A single success or failure does not define you. It does if you let it. So look any result as feedback and work on how to improve.
Today's question is:
"Do you fight through a single point of failure?"
