It is a blessing when remarkable persons that we admire make time to speak with us. Those shared interviews are reflections of us both, that’s why it’s imperative that what we ask matters.
One of those persons we were blessed to speak with superstar bass player and recording artist Nik West!
During our conversation about evolving throughout life we asked Nik this GOOD QUESTION: Recall for us the first time you failed. What lesson did you learn from that?
She answered, “The first time I failed… Hmmm…
See, failing for me was getting a B on a project at school. I cried for days. I wanted all A’s all the time. Now I am much more forgiving of myself for not getting a perfect score on something. I never cared what people thought of me, it was more about how I scored on a test, how I ranked against my peers.
But a simpler answer would be the first time I failed I was fired from a job at 18. I don’t even remember why, but my dad went and bought me a book – “I Got Fired And It Was The Best Thing That Ever Happened To Me”.
The lesson I learned was sometimes you’re not always a perfect fit for something. Your door is your door.” | THIS ENT
