Start your week with some inspiration from iPEC!
Edison’s failure?

Failure is a judgment about how things were “supposed” to go. Having a fear of failure is an assumption that, miraculously, one can create something without any trial and effort. Edison created thousands of successful ways NOT to make a light bulb until one worked. He never gave up and neither should you. The thing Edison lacked was fear of failure, or, for that matter, a belief in failure!

This week, when thinking of a task or challenge, try to shift the fear to excitement in knowing that the only true failure is not trying.
