You Failed But Now You Don't Fear It

Something remarkable happens when you fail.

You realize it’s not that bad.

You didn’t die.
You didn’t lose everything.
You weren’t forced out of the country.

I’m not saying it’s easy.

Maybe you lost some money.
Maybe you lost some friends.
Maybe you suffered public humiliation.

But you’re still here. And guess what. You’re fine.

Congratulations. You have learned what every other seasoned entrepreneur already knows: Failure is not that bad.

Not only can you survive it, but failure also gives you a bounty of gifts that will serve you well for the rest of your life:

Fearlessness to try new things.
Experience to navigate difficult decisions.
And strength to handle bigger challenges ahead.

Failure is never wasted. But it is certainly within your capability to waste failure.

Don’t waste failure.
