We are GOING to fall! No matter what if we try anything. There is a good chance we may fail. Especially when it's the first time we've attempted something.
But when we fall, We can choose to fall forward or back.
It's up to you
We can spend all day feeling sorry for ourselves And blame ourselves for every little thing. It's not that hard.
But when we feel sorry for ourselves for everything that is not working, We fail to see the huge learning opportunity that sits right in front of our faces! That learning opportunity is our key to success, yet it's so easy to ignore it.
We Get So Close and then we fail.
Sometimes when we work our asses off, We end up failing a bit. It's so sad when you see those people who end up turning away because they feel it's impossible to get what they want.
When sometimes it just takes an additional effort that many won't do, because of their insecurities, Their laziness. Or whatever it is that they are choosing to hold them back at the given moment.
Take A Step Back
I've made the mistake of viciously attacking my goals so much that I forget to take a step back.
When you go after your goals that intensely. Sometimes you'll find out later that you were on the wrong path the whole time. That is why it's important to consistently reevaluate your choices and opportunities to see what will work the best for you at that moment. Sometimes new opportunities arise (Like Steemit), or you may have changed your mind on what you want to pursue entirely.
Take Risks
When we fail, We often feel that there is nothing left for us to do. We feel stuck, and we feel crappy. But that is one of the BEST times to take a big risk!
When I lost my Merch account, I almost didn't email them again. I felt like a failure, and I was hurting. But then it dawned on me...
" They already terminated my account, What is emailing going to hurt? With Merch, I'm at rock bottom, and at this point, they can't do anything more to bring me down. "
That's when I sent a very kind email, To remind them that I existed and that I wanted my account back. I explained to them that I felt I had a lot to offer for Merch.
I got my account back...
It ended up being some weird glitch. And It was reinstated.
See what happened?
I took a risk. And it paid off.
Everyday that you write on STeemit, You are taking a risk too.
Ths platform is still new. We don't know the future of Steemit! You are giving up your most precious resource to Steemit (your time). To get some of those rewards!
You have to take big risks to do great things!
Start Over
Sometimes in life you have to cut your loses and start over, This counts for everything relationships, Jobs whatever it is. Sometimes sticking it out truly isn't the best option. A good indication of that is when your thoughts start to get really toxic.
NOTE: Sometimes toxic thoughts mean you need a break. So take a break and come back.
If you still feel that way. Prepare to leave! And be open to starting over!
Bad things don't have to ever destroy you! You can fight through them and use them as a learning experience to thrive!
Just do it!
Risk taking is always hard for me!! haha

I went through a few year a very hard financial hardship. I've learned to enjoy the journey, everything is a different level or game. It is all awesome to see and experience all different circumstances. Now when you don't care to fail, you do quite well. =)
So true! I agree with that. When you are obsessing too much with the chance of failure. You are more likely to fail.
Failure is the first step to success. Thanks for the inspiring post.
Thanks for the tips, good one indeed
Good one, on falling, your work is always inspiring, those who devoted time to read your article will have a lot of positive changes in the lives. Keep it coming.
Falling forward. I love it. Dust yourself up and get back up.
As always love it! Where do you get all this inspiration and wisdom? Amazing the amount of good articles you share :)
It's all how you look at it.
I don't Fail, I just sometimes have Unsuccessful Attempts!!

Gracias por la informacion.. From Venezuela By @gaborey07
Thanks kay for keeping us Steemians inspired and Motivated ! =D Try and never give up
Exactly heheh :) Your're welcome
Like Dory said in Finding Nemo, 'Just keep swimming....just keep swimming...
Yes! Hehehhe I love that quote.
When you have nothing to lose, risks are easy. Vanity and pride keep some from taking a chance. Anything that holds you back is a chain of slavery.
So true!! You should always take the risk no matter how scared you are.
I love this. Failing forward is something I've gotten quite good at over the years. The learning that takes place in failure is so invaluable though, and I know that I'm a better person and better provider for my children because of it. Thank you for yet another wonderful post! Have a great day! :)
I didn't know that @woundedknee was your brother! He did an amazing post on lucid dreaming yesterday, and I'm anxiously awaiting part two. Go figure, I'd like your posts and your brother's. So glad that both of you are on this platform! :)
I was working in a company and left it and will open a special office I am specialized in electronic engineering, but I do not have enough money to resolve my dream Thank you and wish you a happy day
Great post @kayliart
Steemit gonna be the risk, I hope that will pay off for all of us.
So true! I hope it does! I feel like this has so much potential.
I do not really like to take risks. But I like to communicate on Steim. So in any case I will not lose :)
your post is very useful and helpful thanks a lot for sharing and keep on posting ;)
take risks and take action!
Wow! I needed this, great motivation :) Yes, I agree that life is very much about taking risks, without any risk, nothing great gets accomplished. I need to remember this :)
Hi @kaylinart, Hope you are having a nice day in Utah I was just up in Utah last week working with my dad and it was beautiful up in the mountains!
You are just an inspiration machine... I am sure your positive writing has had a positive effect on your day helping you think and act in ways to be more focused and confident because of your study and preparation you put in every day. Take care!
Best,
Isaac
Life is not as easy as ours.
Good post.
Yes, falling forward. Makes sense. We do have to take risks. I just checked that Steemit.com was launched on March 2016, only 1 year and 4 months ago. Yes Steemit.com is so new. I will put in the time and keep on writing. Even if I write about me trying to sell the salesman Steemit that comes to my door. Yes, that happen to me a few times now and I write about it every time. Well, I guess that is a risk too.
Have been trying for almost 15 years with no success, hope I will get everything I want before dying.
I feel the biggest lessons for success is failure, without it you would never see what we are doing wrong and how to adjust it. When some people fail that is the time to reflect, adjust, and go harder till you achieve success. We all get toxic and negative thoughts when we fail, it's all about looking on the bright side and moving foward. Failure is only temporary if you let it be, when it happens we must rise up think positive and move forward. It's apart of life if we didn't have failure we'd all be perfect and boring. It's are trials, tribulations, failures, and struggles that make us strong individuals. So go out there chase your dreams no matter if you don't get it right away. Keep going Dope Post I have followed, upvoted, and Resteemed 🙏
That is a marvelous piece of advice you have here. The centre point of this article, I believe, is 'Take Risks'. This is something of which every other person is capable of. Although they should, if they really want to grow whether on steemit or elsewhere. Taking risks can help a person to bring the best of himself. Without taking risks, no one has ever grown .
As far as Steemit is concerned, of course we're taking risks of utilizing our precious time here. But this risk is worth it all. Steemit is a new platform indeed, but it's really have a great potential. I believe if one has a passion on something and he write about that passion in here on Steemit, then he'd gain the success what he desire soon enough as this platform is rising and people are accepting it with full enthusiasm.
Anyways thanks for sharing the article @kaylinart It's really a masterpiece which everyone should read.
Nice post!
Great post, I love it.
The only thing that one needs in his or her life in order to succeed, is to never give up no matter what happens. I remember how many things happened to me, and how many projects failed to get me the rewards I so much wanted.
Even before finding steemit I was pretty lost, not knowing what to do any more, until I took a risk and started posting on this website. In the first month I made around $200. All that from posting.
It's amazing what you can achieve if you just continue with your life, if you take risks and you don't let anything defeat you.
Great article, really motivational!
nice job
Your absolutely on point. Time is the greatest resource and we see that more and more as we age
Words of wisdom thank you
So true. Failing is apart of the journey to success. Just make sure when you fall, you fall on your back, because if you can LOOK UP, you can GET UP! Nice post @kaylinart :)
I equate risk with living! Thanks for sharing- certainly gained something from it!
So so many "mistakes" or failures were such blessings and I am truly grateful for either for the lesson I learned, the opportunity it created or the time it freed up. Great insight!
Quite right! bad things do NOT have to destroy you! Wonderful post, thank you for sharing! - I look forward to more.
I would love your feedback on my latest post, if you have a moment to look...
“You will never amount to anything” they said. – Well, I may not have achieved everything I want as yet, but I am still alive –and had you asked me 20 years ago if I would be able to see myself where I would stand now, the answer would most definitely have been NO. In fact, I don’t think I saw much for myself at all, in terms of “future prospects” – it was just not something that I thought about, sadly.
