I am literally stealing this from a blog of someone who I respect and admire, Scott Barlow, but our outlook on life is very much the same.

I want to link you to this awesome article by James Dyson entitled, ‘In Praise of Failure’. At the beginning of this article the bold statement is made that we should ‘Redefine the way that we view failure’ and I believe in this sentiment wholeheartedly.

It took Dyson years to develop the prototype that became the key mechanism for his Dyson hoover, as he explains in his article, there were times when he had little money, when his family were struggling but he never gave up on his dream. Awesome.

I have a whole bunch of analytics on my blog which tell me what key words people typed into google in order to find this blog and one of the key terms which comes up regularly revolves around ‘my life is a failure’. It amazes me how many people struggle with the fact that they have not done as well as they had hoped, in a certain area of their life.

I will write more on the subject of dealing with personal failure, later on this week, but, right now James Dyson’s article is an awesome place to start. Get inspired!
