I/' ve been having some discussions with my kids lately about "failure- " both theirs and mine. My son/' s not getting the grades he wants- and I/' m experiencing some professional setbacks I/' m not happy with- and my daughter...well- she/' s 8- and perfectly content with life- and I think that/' s perfect.

But the question keeps coming up- "Is failure bad?"

I think the answer is- "It depends on what you do with it."

Here/' s what a lot of people do. Let/' s take my professional situation. I/' m working on a book. Say I put together a proposal- query 40 or 50 agents- and wait. Every agent says no- this is not what we/' re looking for.

I throw the proposal in the trash and go on.

I/' ve failed. It/' s bad. I/' ve given up on my dream of writing this book.

Seize the Opportunity and Master Your Life
Your life is essentially a movie. You’ve got lead characters- a supporting cast- dramatic events- and quite a few twists in the plot. It’s obvious you are the main character in your life movie. ...

That is- indeed- failure. That’s when I’ve just flat-out not reached my dream. But think about why I didn’t reach it. I’ll come back to that in a minute.

Now imagine that after all 50 agents send the query back with a rejection- I sit down with my query letter and try to figure out what to say to get their attention and show them that I really have an idea and I really can write and promote the book. Then I send it to the next 40 or 50 agents on my list.

I failed- with the first 40 or 50. But I *succeeded* in getting beyond the failure. That/' s good. I succeeded at three things: one- deciding that I wanted to continue; two- figuring out what I could do better; and three- continuing.

Every failure is an opportunity to try again- a little harder- a little better- with better information and more passion.

Failing/' s not bad. Failing is how you move forward. Unless you give up. Giving up is bad. Failing is just locomotion.
