Failure


No, not the band. But I do hope they put a new album out this year. Failure as in, ‘define my success by the things I have failed trying to do.’ Failure as in, ‘if I have not failed at something today, then I’m not challenging myself.’ Failure as is, ‘we grow and learn the most when we struggle and fail to easily succeed at something.’ Forget failing fast. Just try many things and plan to fail at most of them. Pick one to focus on and better understand why failure occurred.
