why failure is not an option

“I can accept failure. Everyone fails at something. But I can’t accept not trying.” --Michael Jordan.

Great leaders have experienced failures in their pasts, but never quit trying and never gave up. They reach the pinnacles of success by not accepting failure as an option and go on to achieve great things.

Sometimes though, no matter how hard you try, your efforts seem not to amount to anything and you feel close to failure. Most of the time you’re telling yourself self-defeating lies and other times you just need to pick yourself up and start all over again.

When you leave the "failure" in the dust and begin again, you’re negating its importance and know that those efforts didn’t work – so now, it’s time to move on to something that does work. No matter where you are in your life, failure doesn’t have to be an option you think about and resign yourself to.

It takes courage to be a leader, but even if you have fears that have kept you from leadership roles thus far, it doesn’t mean that you can’t overcome them and achieve positions of leadership.

Each decision you make in your personal and business life is a testament to your courage. Something as simple as refusing a rich dessert because you want to stay fit takes a certain amount of courage if you have gnawing cravings for sugar.
Other decisions you must make may be monumental and require the courage of a lion. A decision to quit a high-paying job to follow your life’s dream is a major decision that takes courage – and planning. And, some decisions may seem unimportant in the moment, but later you may see that they were life-changing.

So, how do you muster up the inner resources to step out there and go for it?

Leadership in today’s world requires new leadership values. No longer is a leader simply a person who can make a good photo op and inspiring speech. Today, a leader faces challenges with huge political, economic, and environmental consequences. A leader should have the ability to convince followers (and others) to change destructive habits, be good communicators, and focus more on the participation of women in leadership roles.
