  Rich Mullins: Failing and Making Mistakes

  Rich Mullins: Failing and Making Mistakes
  

  
  SW: Yeah, I'll bet that's true.

  But I want to ask you, you're the same age as me. You're 36, and I'm almost 36. How are you different at 36 than 26?

  RM: Oh, very different. Because I have failed enough that I've learned that It's not the end of the world to make mistakes.

  SW: That's a big thing.

  RM: Yes, so I'm not as threatened by my own failures as I used to be. I used to be a lot more ambitious than I am now. I think I used to really want to... you know, I was a bit of a go-getter and very uptight about everything.

  At 36, you kinda sit back and you kinda go, wow, I've made so many really bad mistakes. And I've been around so many people who've made a lot of really dumb mistakes. And every morning the sun comes up anyway. So, ehhh, it's not that... I think when you stop being afraid of failing, you become a lot more free to succeed.
