Hello to you listening in Karachi, Pakistan!

Coming to you from Whidbey Island, Washington this is Stories From Women Who Walk with 60 Seconds for Motivate Your Monday and your host, Diane Wyzga.

Maybe like me you’ve failed more times than you can count. Is it possible to use our failures to encourage a new opportunity, a do-over even?

Yes. How do I know? I’ve learned from the best! Wile E. Coyote is the quintessentially resilient cartoon character who pursues Road Runner with disastrous gadgets purchased from a fictional mail-order company called ACME. Giant magnets, rocket-powered roller skates, earthquake pills, invisible paint, and movable tunnel entrances always backfire. Coyote never ever catches the Road Runner, but does that stop him? No!

Do we want Coyote to catch Road Runner? No! We want to see what Coyote will do next.

Failure stops creativity when we or someone else says “Give up!” But! When we refuse to give up failure encourages creativity because that’s the job of failure.

Never underestimate the power of your persistent efforts to begin anew. Life expects do-overs!

Remember the first time you rode a bike and took your hands off the handlebars? And then because it felt fun and scary you did it again until you were streaking down a hill with the wind blowing in your face and your hands up over your head screaming, “Look ma! No hands!” That’s been the story of Diane's life. Showing up - maybe scared but not afraid - because when you fall down 7 you get up 8.
