The Path to Success is Through Failure

We live in a world that is obsessed about winning and being number one but we never talk about how failure can be the path to success.

Hello Friends, it’s George Tsougrianis here for another edition of Wake Up Wednesdays. This time I want to talk about failure. More specifically how failure can play a role in your development and help you towards your goals. Coaches and athletes have long known that winning is a direct result of the sum total of epic failures and what wisdom is learned from those moments. True failure is only a result of doing nothing . But successful people know that in order to achieve greatness you must get knocked down a few times and understanding that makes the journey that more important.

Imagine if I told you that tomorrow you were going to loose every possession you have , how would you respond? Would you be afraid? Would you be mad? Training our minds for the challenges in life is no different than an athlete who trains every day conditioning their body for competition.

We just need to make that commitment to do the work and challenge ourselves towards greatness and be mindful enough that during our failures it’s the action we take after that defines our character and ultimately our pathway in life.

The Path To Success Is Through My Failures

As a filmmaker and as a successful entrepreneur I have failed countless times. Initially, I would be very hard on myself and those around me as I just couldn’t tolerate failure because I needed to be the best. In business especially I would get very upset if a project didn’t go the way I thought it was suppose to. Looking back now it’s easy to see the lessons life has presented me. It’s these very life lessons that has allowed me to be the person I am today.

Hope you enjoy my video.

With gratitude,
