success isn’t about avoiding failure—it’s about continuing despite it. Does that mean you should always keep trying to do something you keep failing at? No, sometimes we fail because something isn’t a great fit for us. And continuing to bang your head against the wall won’t get you anywhere or anything. Except a headache. But if something is important to you, you can keep going—even if you fail. Failing doesn’t make you a failure. It isn’t the opposite of succeeding, as I’d feared. It’s something that happens—and will happen—all along the way.
