2. 0:02there's a statement in the New Testament
3. 0:05it's called the Matthew principle and
4. 0:06economists use it to describe how the
5. 0:08economy in the world Works to those who
6. 0:10have everything more will be given from
7. 0:11those who have nothing everything will
8. 0:13be taken it's like what's very
9. 0:15pessimistic in some sense because it
10. 0:16means that as you start to fail you fail
11. 0:18more and more rapidly but it also means
12. 0:20that as you start to succeed you succeed
13. 0:23more and more rapidly and so you take an
14. 0:25incremental step and well now you can
15. 0:27lift 55 PBS instead of 52.5 lbs you
16. 0:31think well what the hell is that it's
17. 0:33like it's one step on a very long
18. 0:35journey and so it's it and it starts to
19. 0:38Compound on you so a small step today
20. 0:40means puts you in a position to take a
21. 0:42slightly bigger step the next day and
22. 0:44then that puts you in a position to take
23. 0:45a slightly bigger step the next day and
24. 0:47you do that for two or three years man
25. 0:49you're starting to stride every time I
26. 0:51failed I move closer to the goal you see
27. 0:56if you knew how to do it now you'd be
28. 0:58going sideways when you're going after a
29. 1:01goal you're going ahead and because
30. 1:03you're going where you've never been
31. 1:05you're going to make mistakes you don't
32. 1:07know it all you have Perfection within
33. 1:09you and the objective of life is
34. 1:12to bring that Perfection to the
35. 1:14surface
36. 1:16well you're going to make a lot of
37. 1:18mistakes bringing that to the
38. 1:20surface those mistakes are steps to
39. 1:25where you're going but if you think that
40. 1:28you're going to enjoy great success and
41. 1:30it's just one win after another you're
42. 1:32kidding yourself it just doesn't happen
43. 1:34I don't even know anyone that's pulled
44. 1:36that kind of a deal
45. 1:37off if they did they were cheating or
46. 1:41lying you cannot have Innovation or
47. 1:43progress without failure it doesn't
48. 1:46exist um uh and if you truly aren't
49. 1:48failing as you're trying to innovate
50. 1:49then you're probably not pushing very
51. 1:50hard because you haven't broken anything
52. 1:52you're taking you're making very very
53. 1:53safe choices we could never have put a
54. 1:55person on the moon without a bunch of
55. 1:57rockets blowing up first like of course
56. 2:02I I I met a CFO once I asked him the
57. 2:04priorities of the company and he said
58. 2:05efficiency and Innovation and I laughed
59. 2:08and said well good luck with that you
60. 2:09know Innovation is inherently
61. 2:11inefficient because it requires
62. 2:12experimentation experimentation requires
63. 2:15failure much is said about fail fast I
64. 2:18actually don't like the term that we I
65. 2:21think we overuse the term
66. 2:23failure you know and the the problem
67. 2:25with the word failure is it's like the
68. 2:27word cancer it's too broad
69. 2:30like if you have stage four liver cancer
70. 2:32or you have a mild melanoma those things
71. 2:34are both called cancer but they are
72. 2:36clearly not the same thing and the same
73. 2:38thing is when we hear the word failure
74. 2:40some people think failure means
75. 2:41experimentation but a lot of people
76. 2:42think failure means catastrophe and so
77. 2:45when we tell our company failure is good
78. 2:47fail fast that literally scares people
79. 2:51we don't want to fail so I think we need
80. 2:52a new word right we want to avoid
81. 2:55failure failure is catastrophic and it
82. 2:57should be avoided but Falling I think we
83. 2:59should encourage you know when a kid
84. 3:01falls off a bicycle we didn't tell them
85. 3:03they failed we tell them they fell and
86. 3:05what do we tell them get back up and try
87. 3:07again so I don't want to tell people
88. 3:08they failed I want to see people they fa
89. 3:10and I want to encourage them to try
90. 3:11again and you know brush off their knees
91. 3:13so I think we should fall and fall often
92. 3:15and I will judge the quality of
93. 3:16innovation not necessarily by if you
94. 3:19fell but how quickly you can pick
95. 3:21yourself back up and try again it's a
96. 3:23simple process the only reason I'm
97. 3:24telling you this cuz this how I made it
98. 3:27I just do me I just I'm just be in me I
99. 3:31stay uniquely who I am because you are
100. 3:34okay just the way you are because you
101. 3:36God Made You uniquely who you are he
102. 3:39wanted you to be just like you
103. 3:42are so let's imagine what does the
104. 3:46person who loses something important
105. 3:48with Grace do and the answer is fairly
106. 3:51straightforward he accepts the defeat
107. 3:53and thinks okay what is it that I have
108. 3:55left to improve that will decrease the
109. 3:57possibility of a similar defeat in the
110. 3:59future so what he's doing is because the
111. 4:02great athlete and the great person is
112. 4:04not only someone who's exceptionally
113. 4:06skilled at what they do but who's trying
114. 4:07to expand their skills at all times and
115. 4:10the attempt to expand their skills at
116. 4:12all times is even more important than
117. 4:13the fact that they're great to begin
118. 4:14with because the trajectory is so
119. 4:16important you're not going to score on
120. 4:17every shot doesn't mean you shouldn't
121. 4:19take the shots doesn't mean you
122. 4:20shouldn't try to to hit the goal but
123. 4:22part of part of being able to continue
124. 4:24to take shots is to have the strength of
125. 4:27character to tolerate the fact that that
126. 4:29in that instance you weren't on top
127. 4:32everything you're going through is
128. 4:34preparing you for what you ask God for
129. 4:37you just got to quit tripping while you
130. 4:39in the process because the process is
131. 4:42necessary you may not see it now but
132. 4:45when he gets you on the other side of it
133. 4:47you going to see exactly why it went
134. 4:48that way and you going to be okay with
135. 4:50it but quit tripping during the
136. 4:54process oh Lord why me you ain't the
137. 4:57only one oh oh Lord why me you ain't the
138. 5:02only one pull yourself together and quit
139. 5:06tripping cuz you in the
140. 5:09process God is processing you he ain't
141. 5:13through with
142. 5:14you if he was through with you you would
143. 5:17not wake up in the morning he going to
144. 5:19fix
145. 5:20it what do you do when you fail other
146. 5:25than death all failure is psychological
147. 5:30other than death all failure is
148. 5:32psychological think about that just just
149. 5:35just think about that this failure this
150. 5:38upset this this
151. 5:41catastrophe if you aren't
152. 5:44dead then it's just
153. 5:47psychological it's in your
154. 5:49head now this does not mean that you
155. 5:52won't lose some battles because you will
156. 5:56we all
157. 5:57will but it does does mean that as long
158. 6:02as you don't surrender as long as you
159. 6:05don't give up as long as you don't quit
160. 6:08then you haven't failed just means
161. 6:10you've made a a temporary tactical
162. 6:14Retreat means you've made a a brief
163. 6:18withdraw so that you can regroup and be
164. 6:23attack
165. 6:25so as far as I'm concerned if you get
166. 6:28beat unless you're dead you are not
167. 6:31defeated and you have not failed what
168. 6:34you've done is you've
169. 6:36learned you've you've gained
170. 6:40experience and you're still
171. 6:43alive and you have memories to
172. 6:48make so get
173. 6:50up and go get after it yes you're going
174. 6:54to fail expect failure it's like
175. 6:55starting a business of course you're
176. 6:57going to fail that is part of the game
177. 6:59but you have to learn how to fail
178. 7:02because a lot of us have Big Dreams big
179. 7:04goals and when you have goals that are
180. 7:06maybe outside your reach you have to
181. 7:10know that getting to that goal you're
182. 7:12going to have a lot of bad days so I was
183. 7:15just failing I kept failing I kept
184. 7:16failing I kept failing so I had to teach
185. 7:19myself how to fail right I know of no
186. 7:21better life purpose than to perish in
187. 7:23attempting the great and impossible the
188. 7:25fact that something seems impossible
189. 7:26shouldn't be a reason to not pursue it
190. 7:28that's exactly what makes it worth
191. 7:30pursuing where would the courage and
192. 7:32greatness be if success was certain and
193. 7:34there was no risk the only true failure
194. 7:37is shrinking away from life's challenges
195. 7:39failure is not the opposite of success
196. 7:40it's a part of it problems are a part of
197. 7:42the journey opposition are a part of the
198. 7:45journey right adversity is a part of the
199. 7:46journey like it's all a part of
200. 7:49development and growth as a person every
201. 7:51time some new thing comes up when you
202. 7:53have to rise to the occasion you have to
203. 7:55perform you think about that time you
204. 7:57failed it's your head up man you think
205. 7:59think I'm a loser I can't do this I'm
206. 8:01going to fail I'm going to up if you eat
207. 8:04a pizza one day but then the other rest
208. 8:06of the week you're fine did you fail we
209. 8:09just need to strip away the Perfection
210. 8:11and get to the like if I directionally
211. 8:14move in this way over a long enough
212. 8:15period of time I will get there as long
213. 8:17as I don't stop as soon as you do
214. 8:19actually start to decide doing something
215. 8:21you fail immediately say oh I guess this
216. 8:22isn't for me I guess success isn't for
217. 8:24me I guess business isn't for me I guess
218. 8:25sales isn't for me I guess whatever the
219. 8:27thing is isn't for me because you failed
220. 8:29once but it's because we have we have an
221. 8:31incorrect view of failure because
222. 8:32failure is a necessary part and the
223. 8:34thing is is you learn from failure and
224. 8:35so it's either you win or you learn you
225. 8:37can't let the past burn you twice right
226. 8:39which is like if you failed in the past
227. 8:41if you project that failure into the
228. 8:42present then that that past failure
229. 8:44continues to to repeat itself by you not
230. 8:46even trying it's like if we're looking
231. 8:47at a kid who's who's walking right and
232. 8:49they fall we're not like I think it's
233. 8:52just going to be a crawler you know like
234. 8:54we don't we don't say that right but
235. 8:55like right now you're applying that same
236. 8:57like you say so much worse things to
237. 8:59yourself
238. 9:00when it's like if you failed so what
239. 9:02it's like it's a it's a process you're
240. 9:04going to learn to walk you'll learn to
241. 9:05walk eventually as long as you don't
242. 9:07stop what would you do ladies and
243. 9:09gentlemen if you couldn't fail what
244. 9:11would you do if you were in a situation
245. 9:13where your mind couldn't comprehend an
246. 9:15outcome in which you lost who would you
247. 9:18become what would you do what type of
248. 9:19person would be bred from that willpower
249. 9:22and that self-belief and that confidence
250. 9:25I can't lose because losing is something
251. 9:28that is design for people that quit and
252. 9:31for people that fail I don't fail I
253. 9:33learned I reevaluate I analyze I
254. 9:37cross-examine I fine tune I refine my
255. 9:40craft so I to teach myself how to fail
256. 9:42right what that means is when I fail I
257. 9:45can't spend much time in that fail Zone
258. 9:49I have to be able to get up and get
259. 9:50after the next day just as fast cuz my
260. 9:53goals would you know to be a Navy SEAL I
261. 9:55don't have time to stay here and feel
262. 9:57bad for myself for weeks and months and
263. 9:59years Years cuz I'll lose that time the
264. 10:01only place to go from failure is to
265. 10:05win you have to achieve failure you have
266. 10:09to take it that far nobody wants to go
267. 10:12that far it's too scary but you know
268. 10:14something I got news for you that's
269. 10:16where winning is you got to get through
270. 10:17failure it's very important and you get
271. 10:20through it by just picking yourself back
272. 10:22up and moving forward and going but it's
273. 10:24hard for a lot of people because they
274. 10:26that sting they never get over it the
275. 10:29the feeling of failure I'm obsessed with
276. 10:31losing I love losing I love losing cuz I
277. 10:35know exactly what you're thinking about
278. 10:36my loss and I can't wait to stick it in
279. 10:38your face when I come back so if you
280. 10:40couldn't fail because failure is not an
281. 10:42option because failure isn't real who
282. 10:43would you become when you're willing to
283. 10:45fail again and again and again when you
284. 10:48make up your mind to become Unstoppable
285. 10:50then that will then give birth to a part
286. 10:53of yourself that you don't know right
