5: How Our Failures Get Us On Track To Pursuing Our Dreams

The Joy in Failure Podcast

Today’s episode is about a very personal yet inspiring email exchange I had 6 years ago with a very good friend of mine, Gita Sjahrir. We met back at Wharton and have been good friends ever since. She is the Co-Founder and Chief Rider of Ride Studio- Indonesia's first boutique indoor cycling studio. This episode is based on a very heart provoking email she sent me back in 2012. Listen to the episode and hear me read her inspirational article titled 'What I Done Did With My Schoolings' . In this episode, I share Gita's wisdom as she teaches us how our failures get us back on track to pursuing our childhood dreams. On the podcast, you'll hear how a major ‘perceived’ failure helped her reconnect with the dreams of her 10-year-old self, and how our fancy dreams may be preventing us from truly following our heart’s calling. Gita is such a transparent writer and wise soul, and I truly hope you find this episode as inspiring as I do. In Gita's words: “Don't be afraid. Trust yourself. Push along. If not for you, then follow your heart, because it is the right thing to do”. And as she also says: "Never be comfortable, never stop dreaming."
