I watched my 3 month old struggle to turn over from her stomach to her back for a good 15 minutes last night. The whole time she is doing this she is smiling. She was enjoying the process.
How often do we go into something and expect to be "pretty good" at a new movement and skill and when it doesn't come as easy as we think, we get frustrated and quit. Embrace failure. You will never improve at anything if all you do is things you are good at.
Why do we lose the enjoyment?
Why do we expect to be good at something we have never tried or is outside the comfort zone of our daily life.
New goal for 2015, starting now, enjoy the process of learning new movement skills and new skills in general.
EMBRACE FAILURE
