What if you could Fail Beyond Success

Here is some thing to consider: What if you could Fail Beyond Success?
Get out your panaway oil and take some deep inhalations before reading the following. 

Isn't it funny how “they” tell you to dream big, careful though because reasonable, not too big 
Like there's some invisible ceiling you dare not touch.
Here's the thing “they” are wrong. Ridiculously wrong.
When you set your goals so high they make your head spin, you are not setting yourself up to fail.
You are setting yourself up to reach places “they” can't even imagine.
If you miss? So what.
You'll land in a space higher than where you started.
And honestly, wouldn't you rather fail in the clouds than succeed in the dirt?
People talk about playing it safe, as if it's some badge of wisdom.
Safe keeps you small, it keeps you grounded, too grounded, staying familiar with what you already know and preventing change and growth. 
Safe is the killer of the dream before it even has a chance to fly.
Look at those who went all in, who dared the ridiculous.
Even their "failures" built empires, reshaped worlds, expanded horizons and created abundance.
Think about that. A failure so grand it's a success in disguise.
Maybe that's the secret. To aim so wildly high that falling feels like flying.
Because at least you're moving. At least you're taking action.
So why not go for it?
Why not reach for something seemingly impossible? Simply for the fun of it! for the curiosity! for the adventure! For the what if!
 What if the worst thing that happens is you end up somewhere extraordinary.
Of course You could choose to stay small, safe, tucked away in mediocrity,
Or you could choose to chase something so audacious it inspires you, fills you with anticipation and sets your passion in motion. 
Either way, you will be better off than the ones who never attempted anything beyond their comfort zone. 
The only real failure is thinking you've already reached your peak.

Now get out your pen and write down something you really want to do. Something you want to achieve. Something you want to contribute. Take another deep inhalation of the fragrance of  panaway and begin to take action. 


If you want more mini meditations like this you can find them in the Mindset Mastery membership.




Monday Morning Mindset


Monday Morning Mindset with Panaway & the Bamboo Tree

The legend of the Bamboo Tree
A farmer planted a bamboo seed and watered it every day without fail. 
For the first year, nothing happened. His neighbors saw him go to the same patch of dirt day after day and began to whisper behind his back. 
By the second year, there was still no sign of growth. The whispers turned to laughter. “Why waste your time?” they’d say, shaking their head . The farmer didn’t stop. He kept watering that spot of earth, believing in the potential beneath the surface.
By the third and fourth years, the mockery only got louder. Yet, the farmer kept going, putting all his energy into what everyone else thought was a hopeless effort.
And then, after five years, something incredible happened. In only six weeks, the bamboo shot up nearly 24 meters (80 feet) into the air. The once-laughing neighbors were stunned. How is this possible? How could this tree grow 24 meters tall in six weeks?

The real question is: Did that bamboo tree grow 24 meters tall in six weeks, or did it grow 24 meters tall in five years and six weeks? During those five years of seemingly no growth, the bamboo tree was developing a massive root system underground. Thanks to the strong root system that developed underground over the past 5 years, the tree was ready for the rapid growth ahead.

The bamboo tree teaches us a vital lesson about success: it doesn’t happen overnight. 
Many of the choices we make today won’t pay off right away. For example, if you do a great job, you’ll get paid in a few weeks and maybe even promoted next year. If you exercise today, you might start seeing results next year. If you start eating a nutritious diet you will see results months and years ahead. 

The ability to delay gratification is a great predictor of success because it teaches discipline, patience, and long-term thinking.” 

On the other hand, eating a chocolate bar or scrolling through social media gives you “instant gratification,” and it pulls you away from your long-term goals. Staying focused on long-term goals can be challenging in a world where instant gratification is just a TikTok scroll away.

At some point, success in nearly every field requires you to be disciplined in choosing  a delayed reward over an immediate reward.

How often do we see super successful people and think: How did this person make millions overnight? They didn’t! Instead they discipline themselves to take constant, persistent, purposeful, daily actions in the direction of their goal. 

Use your oil of panaway to help you stay focused and overcome those pesky, yet very real ‘growing pains’ of staying disciplined and consistent.
