Deciding what’s important and doing what matters – our choices and actions determine our lives.
In this video, I talk about realizing what you want and pursuing it, even when it seems impossible. I describe my own experience with public speaking to illustrate that failure is the first step to success.
When you encounter setbacks, disappointments, or problems at work or home, you have to decide: Does it matter? Sometimes you claim that failure doesn’t bother you. But often, deep down, your shortcomings matter more than you’re willing to admit.
People with conviction are honest about what’s important to them, even when their own failings are tied up in those things. Know this: failure is the first step to success. Adversity provides wisdom and motivation to improve. Doing what matters, even when it’s difficult, can turn your life around.
My foray into public speaking was born of embarrassment and abysmal failure. But being able to stand up and make a speech was important to me. I practiced, became more comfortable and effective, and eventually won a national public speaking competition.
Do life’s obstacles feel insurmountable? Does work seem like more trouble than it’s worth? It’s easy to throw your hands up, declare that it’s all unimportant, and dismiss yourself from the responsibility of doing what matters.
It’s harder – but so much more rewarding – to recognize and pursue what counts. If failure is the first step to success, embrace that step. And if you’re a leader, go a step further. Leadership is the ability to take what really matters and make it matter to others.
