"Failure is the condiment that gives success its flavor."
American Writer
1924 - 1984
People, unfortunately, strive to be perfect and not make any mistakes. For creative leaders, perfection creates paralysis and immobility. Painters who seek perfection stay with the tried and true because they don't want to risk failure. Writer won't step outside their comfort zone because of the fear of failure. We are a society driven to be perfect and we don't tolerate mistakes. Yet, without failure there is no success. Failure provides the flavor to life.
For a society that dwells on perfection, we crave seeing others fail. We love to watch the mighty fall. We cling to our entertainment shows to see which celebrity screwed up. Who is going through a divorce. Who is sleeping with who. Who is fighting with who. If I began naming names, the list would never end. Every moment of every day someone stumbles and falls.
Yet, it is in the moments of failure that some of the greatest novels have been written and some of the greatest paintings have been painted. Without the pain of failure, there would be no joy in success. So I challenge you to step outside your comfort zone and try something new.
