This YouTube clip is making the rounds through Twitter and it’s just too darn good not to share here. It’s also related to Vicky’s first post at the new Remarkable Parents blog.

“If you’ve never failed…you’ve never lived.” We can stew about our failures or we can celebrate them. Which one do you think is going to help us create the kind of life we dream about?

Chris,

Powerful video! One of the most difficult things I find to do when I’m talking to a group of people is to get them to think differently about what failure really means.

I love getting people to read the following,

OPPORTUNITYISNOWHERE

Is opportunity “NOWHERE” or “NOW HERE”? Perspective is everything.

Thanks for the post,

Steve

That’s fantastic, Steve! I love the way that feeds into perception and how it can be used to shift thinking from negative to positive. Thanks so much for sharing that!
