Courage to Stumble

According to Dr. Maxwell Maltz in Psycho Cybernetics, there are five kinds of courage that show up in the success personality.

No. 3 on his list is this – The Courage to Stumble. 


Remember:
You are not your mistakes.
Just because you made a mistake does not mean you are a failure.

Wayne Gretzky, hockey great, was known for what his teammates referred to as his clumsy, uncoordinated antics on the ice during practice sessions.  Wayne was simply trying to find the edge of his abilities and push them further out.  He was “skating on the edge” both metaphorically and actually.  He learned early on that it is okay to stumble in order to hone one’s skills. 

The secret to this philosophy – learn from your stumbles.
