Celebrating Failure

One time this past semester that I failed was a squat attempt. I am a bodybuilder competitor and train daily. During training I was squatting, and missed my last rep. While I was stuck at the bottom of the squat my spotter saved me by grabbing the barbell.
From the experience of failing on my squat rep I learned from it that it is ok to fail. That with failure comes lessons and with life lessons we can learn, grow, and build upon it.

A famous bodybuilder, Arnold Schwarzengger, once said, “Just like in bodybuilding, failure is also a necessary experience for growth in our own lives, for if we're never tested to our limits, how will we know how strong we really are? How will we ever grow?”

 


I believe this is true when it comes to failure it allows us to grow into better humans. When it comes to how I handle failure, I would say that at first I am upset but then I take the lesson learned and improve upon my mistake. From this class I would say when it comes to my career I am more likely to take a risk and less afraid of failure.
