Embrace joy of failure from "summary" of Ikigai: Das Geheimnis der kleinen Dinge by Klaus Motoki Tonn
In life, taking risks is necessary and it is important to accept and embrace the joy of failure that comes with it. Through our failures, we can learn valuable lessons and grow as individuals. It is important to remain positive and keep trying, so that failure can ultimately lead to success.- Having an open mindset towards failure can lead us to finding success faster. Don't fear trying out things if you know the consequences of failure will only help you improve over time.
- Failing doesn't need to be a bad thing - it can be transformative! Learning from our mistakes and analysing what went wrong can give us new perspective on life and help us grow in many ways.
- Celebrate every stumble or misstep as learning experience, no matter how trivial they may seem. Pick yourself up, analyse what went wrong and aim for bigger and better goals.
- Anthromorphising failure is sometimes helpful too; think of it as a companion on the journey, providing information and insight that can eventually help us reach joy and satisfaction.
- With the right attitude, failure can be seen as an essential ally in honing our skills, discovering the unknown and rising to new heights. By accepting setbacks without judgement, we can move ahead more quickly with greater self-confidence.
- Remember that sometimes it's ok to take a break and look back at the journey so far. Acknowledge your accomplishments, laugh at yourself and accept that failures are part of the process.
