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.
