Your voice sounds like an angelic advice. I've always believed that failure is a part of life and we've all failed 1 million times even when we've not been counting.

I really really love this from my heart and thank you so much ❤️

Wild how we treat failure like a stop sign when it’s really a stepping stone...

I love the “yet” mindset. And I think it’s in college where we learn to fear failure. It’s such a big investment there isn’t any room for mistakes, or exploration.

Thank you for reading my post. The college years are certainly pressure packed. The cost, especially for today's college student, make it even more so.

Ahhh such a powerful topic... I think the bravest thing I've ever done is leaving an abusive relationship I was in for 34 years.... after that, I kept doing brave things and haven't stopped. I find it's the best way to GROW. Thank you so much for sharing your wisdom and guidance with us.

Thank you for sharing such a personal story. I love that about Substack. We can share personal stories that fellow Substackers may resonate with.

This really resonated with me. Failure has also been one of my greatest teachers, pushing me to rebuild from the inside out.

It’s a recurring theme in The Worthy Mindset, the newsletter I write as part of my Building Your Foundation of Worth series.

Your perspective on failure as a catalyst for genuine growth aligns closely with my belief that setbacks, when approached with honesty and intention, can strengthen not just our mindset but our entire foundation.

I appreciate your candid viewpoint and would love to continue this conversation.
