<p>Just the word &#8220;failure&#8221; can send shivers down our spine.  If you&#8217;re like me and many of my clients, you&#8217;re probably not a big fan of failing.  However, if you think about some of your biggest failures in life, haven&#8217;t they taught you a great deal and been extremely valuable to your growth, your development, and even your happiness in hindsight?</p>
<p>Failure itself isn&#8217;t the real issue; it&#8217;s our relationship to and our fear of failure that causes us pain and frustration.  Think of what your life, your relationships, and your career would be like if you were not afraid to fail?  For most of us, this would make things very different. <span class="post-teaser-more"><br /><br />&nbsp;=>> <a href="https://www.getmotivation.com/motivationblog/2008/06/appreciating-failure-by-mike-robbins/" title="Permanent Link: Appreciating Failure By Mike Robbins" rel="bookmark">Click to read the full article...</a> <i></span></p>{"id":36,"date":"2008-06-26T11:03:14","date_gmt":"2008-06-26T16:03:14","guid":{"rendered":"http:\/\/www.getmotivation.com\/motivationblog\/2008\/06\/appreciating-failure-by-mike-robbins\/"},"modified":"2023-02-16T19:29:26","modified_gmt":"2023-02-17T00:29:26","slug":"appreciating-failure-by-mike-robbins","status":"publish","type":"post","link":"https:\/\/www.getmotivation.com\/motivationblog\/2008\/06\/appreciating-failure-by-mike-robbins\/","title":{"rendered":"Appreciating Failure By Mike Robbins"},"content":{"rendered":"<p><img decoding=\"async\" vspace=\"2\" border=\"0\" class=\"alignleft\" title=\"Mike Robbins - motivational speaker and author\" src=\"https:\/\/www.getmotivation.com\/images\/speakers_images\/mike-robbins-08.jpg\" \/><strong>Failure!<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Just the word &#8220;failure&#8221; can send shivers down our spine.
