Dare to Fail Rachel Castle

Genius is defined as exceptional intellectual, creative power, or other natural ability. And yet so many of us equate the word genius to only a select population. People like Albert Einstein, Winston Churchill, Bill Gates, or Stephen Hawking. People that seem to have abilities or intelligence that we will never obtain. And yet what if we argued that though these individuals truly have earned the recognition and title of GENIUS, we too hold an exceptional intellectual, creative power, or other natural ability. We too are GENIUSES. But a significant key to discovering that brilliance or genius within us is setting our focus and “the bar so high that it takes a lifetime to pursue”.

Happiness. Such a simple word that many of us spend our life trying to find. As children we typically have exuberant happiness. We find joy in the small details, take time to smell the flowers, and laugh at our mistakes. And yet as we progress in our journey that happiness that we once had typically finds its way out of us. Struggle, disappointment, hardship, and sickness tend to beat that carefree happy nature out of us. And yet if we can find those moments to laugh, those moments to be cheerful, and those moments to be happy we will be better equipped to handle difficulty as it crosses our path. We will be better able to not just endure the journey, but we will truly be able to enjoy our journey.

Each and every one of us has been born into different circumstances. We come into a home and are at the mercy of those who brought us into the home. For most of us the home we grow up into shapes us into the person we are to become. Some of that molding comes from loving parents or caregivers, but for some that definition comes from being put in a home where they are pushed to defy the odds and do differently than the pattern and example that they have seen. We become who we are because of the experiences and choices that cross our path. And yet for some born into adverse circumstances they find it difficult to break the cycle and defy the odds. They struggle to break the trap that they feel they have been born into and pursue greatness. So how is it then that we can pursue greatness no matter our circumstance no matter how many odds we must defy? How is it then we can become the small percentage that breaks the pattern, overcomes, and rises? How do we pursue greatness if our circumstances were far from great?

Individual strength is a funny concept because true strength and resilience can not be developed until one has been tested. It may seem counterintuitive that true strength can not be found without resistance. But it is in these moments of resistance that one refuses to accept or comply and therefore prevents the action of failure. They may reach the point of exhaustion and what may appear to be failure, but the constant struggle against accepting or complying with what is, is where one develops that strength. That capacity to withstand the great challenges, adversities, struggles, and pressure of life. The ability to continue with the fight and demonstrate the intensity to push forward even when that load may seem far too big to bear. And yet without that load true strength could never be obtained. So why is it then that we associate the load negatively? Why is it then, we don’t recognize that without resistance we can’t find strength? How is it then that we begin to let resistance act as both our and our children’s greatest teacher and how do we begin to welcome challenges as opportunities to develop that capacity to withstand the great force and pressures of life?

Have you ever had that thought that you should do something more? Do something that truly allows you to demonstrate and even utilize your skills, talents, and abilities? Do something that you know you love? Have you ever pushed that thought to the back of your mind because you are too scared to even try? So many of us can relate to the idea that we are often paralyzed before we even begin. We don’t attempt some of our best thoughts because we don’t have all of the details ironed out and we are too fearful of having to learn on the go and potentially mess up along the way. However, some of the best products and outcomes come from the messy, unplanned, undetermined grind that is connected to success. Success comes from pursuing what we love and never allowing fear to take control. Success comes when we act on our thoughts and use what we know to take a leap of faith into the unknown.

Our mental narrative is dictated by the events of our life story and at times we do not pursue our hopes, desires, goals, and dreams simply because something in our past paralyzes us from moving forward. We build walls around us and never seek to find a way around those walls because our past instills a sense of fear. The fear of making mistakes. The fear of not meeting expectations. The fear of making a fool of ourselves. The fear of simply taking a leap and heaven forbid epically failing. As humans we are scared of what we perceive as failure and rather than taking the risk, we let our past stop us from progressing. How much more capacity would we have to reach our potential if we broke down those mental walls and took the risk? Opportunities will always be there but the question remains, will you live in fear or live in action?
