Thanks Mike. I think it is possible to go from success to success, ie. to change without going through failure first.

However, I also think that the most likely way of achieving this is by being open to failure.

Alex, thanks for the heads up on the Randy Nelson article!

I don’t play golf but have been told by golf pros that when they help someone change their swing their scores always get worse before they get better. Unless there is initial failure at some level there isn’t any real change taking place.

As always, thanks for adding to the great conversations of the world!
