Today, we dive into the idea that it's not just about working hard for your future self—it's about being willing to fail for your future self. We'll explore why embracing failure is essential for growth and how stepping out of your comfort zone can lead to truly transformative change.

Key Points:

  • The Importance of Failing for Your Future Self: Discussing the concept from Ben Hardy's book and how it challenges the idea of traditional success.
  • Stop Succeeding at Your Current Self: Why living in your comfort zone and continuing to succeed where you already excel can hold you back from reaching your true potential.
  • The Fear of Failure: April shares her personal struggle with committing to the 75 Hard challenge and the fear of failure that kept her from starting.
  • Reframing Failure: How April turned the 75 Hard challenge into 75 one-day challenges and learned to get back up after setbacks.
  • Learning from Siri Lindley: A powerful lesson on the willingness to embarrass oneself in pursuit of greatness, and why embarrassment is sometimes necessary for growth.
  • Embrace Discomfort: The importance of being willing to fail, feel embarrassed, and step outside the easy path to achieve your future goals.

 

In your journey toward becoming your future self, don't just focus on hard work—embrace the possibility of failure. True growth comes not just from effort, but from being willing to step outside your comfort zone, face embarrassment, and learn from every setback. Ask yourself, when was the last time you were willing to fail or embarrass yourself in the pursuit of your goals? Let's make that leap together.

Stuff You Should Know
Ruthie's Table 4

Ruthie's Table 4

For more than 30 years The River Cafe in London, has been the home-from-home of artists, architects, designers, actors, collectors, writers, activists, and politicians. Michael Caine, Glenn Close, JJ Abrams, Steve McQueen, Victoria and David Beckham, and Lily Allen, are just some of the people who love to call The River Cafe home. On River Cafe Table 4, Rogers sits down with her customers—who have become friends—to talk about food memories. Table 4 explores how food impacts every aspect of our lives. “Foods is politics, food is cultural, food is how you express love, food is about your heritage, it defines who you and who you want to be,” says Rogers. Each week, Rogers invites her guest to reminisce about family suppers and first dates, what they cook, how they eat when performing, the restaurants they choose, and what food they seek when they need comfort. And to punctuate each episode of Table 4, guests such as Ralph Fiennes, Emily Blunt, and Alfonso Cuarón, read their favourite recipe from one of the best-selling River Cafe cookbooks. Table 4 itself, is situated near The River Cafe’s open kitchen, close to the bright pink wood-fired oven and next to the glossy yellow pass, where Ruthie oversees the restaurant. You are invited to take a seat at this intimate table and join the conversation.
