Failure. How do you handle it? The 2 minute video below by Will Smith is an encouragement to view failure in a positive way. As he says – fail early, fail often and fail forward.

In this podcast my co-host Andrew Horton and I discuss how failure is not something to be feared, but actually an opportunity to grow and learn.

Michael Jordan, arguably the greatest basketball play of all time has said:

“I’ve missed more than 9000 shots in my career. I’ve lost almost 300 games. 26 times I’ve been entrusted to take the game winning shot and missed. I’ve failed over and over again in my life. And that is why I succeed.”

Do join us on this podcast as we discuss:

What is the relationship between failure and guilt or shame? Is failure necessarily a bad thing?

Why it is not as simple as just saying, “If at first you don’t succeed, try, try again.”

What is the secret to turning failure around?

How can we see our failures through the eyes of faith?
