Failing forward
From CaseyPedia
Failing forward is a life philosophy adopted wholesale by Casey Serin to provide self-justification for his many failures.
Under the failing forward mindset, failures are not personal failings; they are learning experiences to be used as stepping-stones towards future successes.
The concept was introduced to Casey by John Maxwell's book Failing Forward. Casey used it as the subject for a chapter he wrote for Ramit Sethi's info product, Ramit's 2007 Guide To Kicking Ass, plagiarizing drawing inspiration from Maxwell's book:[1][2]
“The difference between average people and high achievers is their perception of failure”. This means to succeed big you must not be afraid to fail big. [...] This topic is very dear to me. Help from above and the “Failing Forward” mentality is the only way I get through the day.
