Rumi and Brooke and failure


Hi Brooke,

Your teachings about failure and what it means – and what it doesn’t mean – are causing a huge shift in my thinking. I’m setting an IMPOSSIBLE goal for 2018 and it feels amazing (at least in those moments when my brain isn’t racing around coming up with all the reasons my goal is actually impossible!) Thank you so much. I came across this Rumi poem (love him!). It made me smile as I thought about how much braver I’m becoming as I risk failure:

FORGET SAFETY.
LIVE WHERE YOU FEAR TO LIVE.
DESTROY YOUR REPUTATION.
BE NOTORIOUS.
– Rumi
