My day

December 23 in Carmel, Indiana when we would typically have inches of snow on the ground I played golf with my buddies on the course. Couldn't ask for better conditions this time of year!

Failing Forward

Steps to Failing Forward:

1. Realize that there is one major difference between average and achieving people.

2. Learn a new definition of failure and success.

3. If you have failed, are you a failure?

4. Find the exit off the failure freeway.

5. Change your response to failure by accepting responsibility.

6. Don’t let failure outside of you get inside of you.

7. Say goodbye to yesterday- Is the past holding your life hostage?

8. Change yourself and your world changes: Who is this person who keeps making these mistakes?

9. Get over yourself and start giving yourslef.

10. Find the benefit in every bad experience.

11. Take a risk- there is no other way to fail forward.

12. Learn from a bad experience and make failure your best friend.

13. Work on the weakness that weakens you. 

14. Understand that there is not much difference between failure and success.

15. Get up, get over it and get going.

16. Now you are ready to fail forward.

License

Had my first of 6 drives today. Went super well, my driver told me I was the easiest and best driver he has ever dealt with.

Finals

Can't wait to get home and have a homemade dinner with my family and watch Monday night football tonight after a long 4 hours of studying for finals.

Cold Monday

Working on the top of my swing on my track man today before my recreational basketball game. Looking good!

Current Read

I am currently about a quarter of the way through this book and am really enjoying it. This book helps me understand how I can turn difficult and unsuccessful tasks I attempt and turn them into great learning experiences for me to build off of.
