Episode Transcript

Speaker 1 (00:00):
All right, folks, welcome back to find your why again.
I'm your host, Jake Carter, And if you're anything like me,
sometimes life feels like one giant obstacle. Course, right, we
set out with these big goals, these amazing dreams, and
then bam, we hit a wall. Maybe it's a project
that flops, a relationship that fizzles, or even just that
awkward moment when your toast lands butterside down for the

(00:22):
tenth time in a row. But here's the thing. Those stumbles,
those failures, they don't have to define us. In fact,
they can be some of the most valuable lessons we learn. Today.
We're talking about how to embrace failure, not just accept it,
but actually use it as a stepping stone to get
where we want to go. Ever felt like you were
spinning your wheels going nowhere fast? You know that feeling

(00:44):
when you try something, put in the effort, and then nothing.
It's frustrating, demotivating, even kind of embarrassing. But let me
tell you, I've been there, done that, got the T
shirt that probably has a stain on it from that
whole failure thing. And trust me, those moments of seeming
defeat are often where the real magic happens. They force

(01:05):
us to reevaluate, to analyze what went wrong, and to
come up with new, even better strategies. So how do
we actually make this work? How do we turn failure
from this scary monster into a helpful guide? Here's the thing.
Number one, reframe your perspective. Failure isn't the opposite of success,
It's a part of it. Think about some of the
most successful people out there. They didn't just get up

(01:27):
one day and become superstars. They had countless setbacks, moments
of doubt, even outright flops along the way. But they
learned from those experiences, dusted themselves off, and kept going.
Number two ask yourself the right questions when things don't
go as planned. Instead of beating yourself up, ask yourself,
what can I learn from this? What could I have

(01:49):
done differently? Who can I talk to for advice? These
questions help you shift your focus from blame to growth.
Number three, celebrate the small wins. It's easy to get
caught up in the big picture and forget to acknowledge
the little victories along the way. Did you finally nail
that presentation after several practice runs? Did you learn a
new skill even if it took longer than expected. Celebrate

(02:11):
those moments. They build momentum and keep you moving forward.
Number four, don't be afraid to ask for help. We
all need support sometimes, especially when we're struggling. Talk to
a trusted friend, family member, mentor or even a therapist.
Sharing your experiences can help you gain clarity, feel less alone,
and get fresh perspectives on how to move forward. Number five,

(02:33):
Keep pushing forward. This one is crucial. There will be
times when you want to give up when the going
gets tough, But remember why you started in the first place.
What are your goals? What drives you hold onto that fire?
Keep learning and never stop chasing what matters most. Now,
let me tell you about this. One time I was
trying out for this improv comedy group back in college.

(02:55):
I thought I was hilarious. Of course we all think that, right,
But when my turn came, I completely froze up. It
was like my brain went on strike and I mumbled
something incoherent that got crickets instead of laughs. Talk about embarrassing,
But you know what that experience taught me a valuable lesson.
Even the most seasoned performers have moments where they bomb

(03:16):
It's all about how you handle it. So I took
some improv classes, practiced relentlessly, and eventually I landed a
spot in the group. And let me tell you, those
nights on stage were some of the best times of
my life. So there you have it. Five key takeaways
to help you embrace failure as a stepping stone to success. Remember,
it's not about avoiding setbacks, it's about how you respond

(03:38):
to them. Keep learning, keep growing, and never stop chasing
your dreams. All right, folks, that's all the time we
have for today. Remember if you learn something from this episode,
share it with a friend who could use a little motivation,
and head over to our social media pages. Let's keep
this conversation going. We'll be back tomorrow with another five

(03:59):

your why again. This podcast is powered by AI to
