From: Mom and Dad
Failure gets a bad rap. When I was young I didn’t understand the whole balance of the universe. It sounds cliche, but it is true. You cannot have good without evil. You cannot have success without failure.
The thing about failure is that it isn’t binary or black and white. There are varying degrees of failure and we feel it every day. Small failures, we shrug off. Large failures hit us hard, like Shannon jumping on your stomach when you aren’t ready.
Your Failure
You’ve experienced a failure in terms of school. You know this, but you don’t understand it. Yet. The goal was to graduate from a specific nursing school and start your career. Enamored with the idea of going to that school, you embraced it and worked to make it happen. It didn’t.
It isn’t.
It won’t.
At that school.
See, that’s the nature of failure. You can make it as specific or as broad as you want. The way people look at failure effects their ability to rebound greatly.
How do you look like it?
