Now let's get ready for our activity titled The failure toss. And this is a pretty interesting activity that's going to help you reflect on the failures that you've made, and the wisdom you've taken from these failures. So let's get going. But before we begin, I'd like you to get out not one but two of your worksheets for today's lesson. The first one is titled The failure toss activity. And the second one is titled your failure toss reflection worksheet, please get those two out.

Before we begin, go ahead and push pause and come back after you have those two sheets ready? Look again at your definition of failure that I asked you to define in our previous lesson. And if you look up here, I've got a few examples of failure that maybe our definitions from other people, let's read those real quickly. Number one up here Failure is when we don't match up to the expectations we have of ourselves. Good. That's a good definition.

Do you agree or disagree? The next one here is failure is when we can't meet the goals we set for ourselves. All right, that's a decent definition of failure. Maybe both of these are true in their own ways. How about the third one? I don't think there's a thing like failure because we always learn from our mistakes.

You know, that's a really positive attitude on failure itself. Do you agree or disagree with that definition? Whatever your definition is, I'm curious what are your particular failures. So let's get out your first worksheet titled failure toss activity worksheet. Now, if for some reason you don't have this, this is also doable on a piece of paper, but it's better if you have the one I provided. And don't forget your pencil or pen.

Once you've got that worksheet Ready, go ahead and divide the worksheet down the center, fold it vertically in half, creating two columns, as you can see in the image on your screen. Now you can see on the top left, we have a column called failures. And then the top right we have a column called wisdoms. Now I'd like you to list your failures in the left hand column, for example, failure, 123 and four, go ahead, push pause, and fill out this left hand column. Okay, now that we're back, I'd like you to reflect on each failure and what wisdom What lesson Do you feel that you've taken from each failure? I'd like you to list those wisdoms on the right hand side that correspond with each failure.

Take a moment here, push pause and complete the right hand column. Now that you've completed both columns, I'd like you to do this. That line going down the center. I'd like you just to rip it in half Now carefully, of course. So it's a clean cut, but separate both of these sides. Separate this paper into two halves.

Okay, take a moment push, pause, do it quickly. From there you have four choices I'd like you to make. Think carefully about these four. Number one, thinking about your failures and your wisdoms. Would you like to number one, keep both your failures and your wisdoms. Number two, throw away your failures and keep your wisdoms.

Number three, throw away your wisdoms and keep your failures. Or number four, throw away both your failures and your wisdoms. What would be your personal choice, we're going to push pause one more time. So you can give it some thought. Okay, now, if you chose to throw away something, ball it up and throw it away in the trash, just get rid of it. Go for it do right now throw it away.

All right, I'd like you to look at your failure toss reflection worksheet and answer these three questions. Number one, what choice did you make? Go ahead and write it down in the space provided under number one. That's an easy answer. Right? You just made it.

Number two. Why? Here's a little bit more difficult question. Why did you make that decision? Write it down in the space provided in number two, and explain as best you can, why you made that decision. And then number three, what is the life lesson in this experience?

Now this is what you feel you've gotten from this exercise, philosophical or not. What do you feel is the potential life lesson that this exercise could provide you as an indie You specifically, and that is the failure toss exercise. You might see the value in at the moment, or you might not. And if you don't, you might see the value in it in the near future we'll see. So wrapping up the failure toss, I asked you to get out your two worksheets, your failure toss worksheet and your reflection worksheet. And you made a choice one of these four choices of what to do with your failures and your wisdoms.

And then you filled out your reflection worksheet, and we might come back to this at some point in the future. Having said that, let's get ready for the next lesson how to learn from failure
