Hey there ,

Yesterday was day one of immersion and we had a blast!

And just in case you're wondering...

Immersion is our quarterly planning retreat for platinum members of HPEN...

The idea is to get together and celebrate our successes whilst making out time to plan for the next quarter so we hit the ground running from the first...

Now...

If you're not in platinum...

It doesn't mean you can't do this for yourself...

You can...

The real question is...

Will you?

Most of us prefer to repeat history rather than create it.

The reason why mistakes, failure and history repeat itself…

Is because we paid no attention the first time.

When will we learn?

It’s essential that we make new mistakes and experience new failures...

Instead...we just keep repeating the same old ones.

There’s not enough original effort…

Not enough stretching outside the comfort zone.

And there’s most certainly not enough bold, daring action in search of something better.

For most of us…

It’s more frightening to do something new than it is to retry something that failed.

We need to stop making the same old mistakes…

And we need to put an end to the cycle of failure by repeating the same actions again and again and again.

What did you expect to happen when you did the very same thing that didn’t work last time?

What did you expect to happen when you did the very same thing that didn’t work last time?

Here's the good thing about bad things...

Success depends on a constant stream of small and occasionally large mistakes and failures.

To create history rather than repeat it…

Mistakes and failures must be viewed not only as the outcome of an unsuccessful activity…

But also the basis for a successful one.

In other words...

New beginnings are often disguised as painful endings.

Unless mistakes and failures are understood and respected as a big part of success…

They will remain widely perceived as unnecessary…

Something to be avoided at all costs.

A wise response is impossible if you see mistakes and failure only in negative terms.

While there is nothing inherently sexy or enviable about failure…

Unless of course you're beyonce falling off a stage in New York...

Eventually...

People find you more attractive and interesting due to the knowledge, wisdom, and maturity you gained because of it.

In conclusion…

You learn to become strong because you have experienced weakness.

You learn to become bold and courageous because you have experienced fear.

You become wise because in the past you were foolish.

And you become successful because of the lessons you learned by making mistakes and experiencing failure.

The pain and misery of failure...

Missed opportunity...

Or...

Just plain simple stupidity on our own part...

Should be a lesson learned and never repeated.

When you lose....

Don’t lose the lesson...

Those who cannot learn from failure are condemned to repeat it.

The lessons of making mistakes and experiencing failure are a terrible thing to waste.

A new quarter is about to begin...

And with it a number of opportunities to get in the game and create history.

Go, get out out of your own way, and let's see what's possible for you!

Till tomorrow...

CTM
