Setbacks, mishaps, and errors—life teaches us pretty quickly that we have the capacity to grow, overcome, and keep moving in ways that might actually mean something to someone else. Failure isn’t a dead end; it’s just a regular part of the terrain. When things break down or go sideways, it strips away the noise and forces you to look at the raw material of what you have left to work with. You learn what you can handle by simply standing your ground and adjusting to the facts as they are.
