Failure isn’t a tragic ending, it’s simply something not turning out the way we expected. When we lower our goals just to avoid failing, we end up avoiding the very feelings we have full power to navigate. The more willing we are to fail, the faster we learn what works and the closer we get to meeting our own expectations. If we decide ahead of time to have our own back whenever we fall short, we become braver, take bigger risks, and build the confidence that only comes from getting back up again. Treat failure like a skill to be practiced, collected, even celebrated, because every attempt strengthens your capacity to rise and try again.
