Failure, Being Daring, The Call to Courage

I’m watching The Call to Courage. One of the first stories Brene Brown tells is how she discovered the above quote from Teddy Roosevelt while obsessing about her TedTalk comments on YouTube. 

She is so awesome. It was perfect timing to watch this documentary since 1) I didn’t quite hit my training miles and 2) life is kicking me in the butt.

What I learned from watching her talk: 

•  I’m going to show up, take chances and fail – a lot. 
• “When you choose to live in the arena you are going to get your ass kicked.” Brene Brown
• Fall, failure, heartbreak – it’s a choice you make every day.
• If you are brave with your life you will fail. 
• Vulnerability – the courage to show up when you don’t know what the outcome will be. 
• Show Up – Be Brave

I’m going to keep showing up in life and training. I’m going to continue to take chances; and try to be vulnerable.
