Why You'll Never Make It

I’ve had the notion of failure on my mind lately, why some failures seem monumental, and the difference between those that seem so big and the micro failures that we all quickly dismiss as irrelevant. I had what felt like an epiphany about this while making my morning coffee. As I am tweaking the mess I made I had the thought that this coffee is a giant failure. But why do these failures seem so small, while we let other failures, like losing a potential client, change the course of our lives? Failure shouldn’t be the end all be all, it shouldn’t be an endgame. We all experience this, the fear of your creativity not being good enough. This is me, I am all of you, I am afraid. So how do we fix this? We dare to fail. We use our failures to become better, to improve. So take my challenge, post a photo of one of your failures on instagram, and dare to fail with me. Go check out my failed photo on instagram and when you post yours use the hashtag #DareToFailAE.

“ Fail to succeed. At the heart of art is failure, so fail often and fail hard.” -Adam Bell

Because if you’re unwilling to face your fears and fail, then you might as well quit.

If I wasn’t brave enough to get out of my comfort zone and try something new that would surely fail, I would’ve never been able to capture the 2nd photograph which incidentally is one of my all time favorites.
