Understand second that failure is part of the equation. It’s not shameful. It’s not a commentary on self-worth. It need not be a predictor of future outcomes. And it should not be avoided. Instead, it’s part and parcel of every triumph, built into the very fabric of success. Because if you haven’t failed, it’s only because you haven’t extended yourself enough. In the same way that good cannot exist without evil and light holds relevance only in opposition to darkness, success and failure too are a duality of the human condition. One simply cannot exist without the other.
