Failure will hit us all at some point. It’s inevitable.
No one is born an expert.
No one is born a champion.
We all have to learn, put in the work, be consistent and persevere.
Failure really just gives us a choice:
- We can let it define us, fill our head with doubt and ultimately succumb to it.
Or…
- We can learn from it, make changes, and ultimately succeed BECAUSE of it.
