ONE VISUAL
ONE INSIGHT
In a world that often celebrates success and highlights achievements, it’s easy to overlook the countless stumbles and setbacks that have paved the way to success. Here is a perspective that has shifted my mindset and how it can help you reach the goals you set out for yourself.
“The master has failed more times than the beginner has even tried.” - Stephen McCranie
A Beginner is someone who:
Believes perfection is key.
Fears failure rather than seeing it as a learning opportunity.
Relies heavily on established rules and doesn’t explore new paths.
A master is someone who:
Embraces challenges as opportunities for growth
Always seeks new ways to expand their knowledge.
Recognize failure is inevitable and is not afraid to try.
Mastery is not a destination
It’s a journey marked by countless attempts but not by reckless decisions. Be intentional and mindful of what you do and why you do it. Each is done with the purpose of determining the path to success.
The master is an outlier
The master is not afraid to fail. The master understands that failure is a requirement for success.
The master reflects on experiences, persists through challenges, and adapts their approach.
ONE QUESTION
