Are you guaranteed to fail? Of course you are

The PolyBlog
May 24 2012

I love Danielle LaPorte’s “white hot truth” approach to life, goal-setting, etc. It is a bit more aggressive than most you see — unreservedly full throttle, and it’s refreshing to see the passion of her approach so strongly reflected in her life-affirming posts. As most of you know, I am far more “low-key” but I am passionate about goals, so her latest post was so inspiring, weirdly so given the fact that 80% of the text is about failing, that I just had to try turning it into one of those inspirational posters for my wall. You can find her original prose here.
