It's Okay to Fail

Many of us find the idea of failure to be the worst “F word” we can imagine. We try to avoid it at all costs, fearing what it might mean about ourselves or our lives. We think that we are the only ones who ever fall down, and worse that we will never be able to pick ourselves up again. However, most of the time, that is not the case. Humans can be surprisingly resilient, and many people eventually report that their greatest hardships often contained important life lessons. 1. Failure shows us what we are missing. 2. Failure shows us what we care about. 3. Failure forces a fresh start.
