Paula- This is a great reframe for those who are confronted by failure: "Eventually, you may even rethink the word failure. Instead, you’ll make a mistake, an error, a gaffe, a blunder. Small stuff. No big deal. Even if you experience an actual failure, you’ll know it’s something that you do, not something that you are." A great reminder for sure. Hope you're well this week? Cheers, -Thalia

Thanks, Thalia. I'm new to Substack so am not sure how to do Notes. Is your comment something that can be shared in Notes so others will notice it and maybe look at the article??

Ah, yes, the failure of being a failure by method of failing. It's a conundrum and definitely complicated; also nice to hear you say failing is a thing you do, not a thing you are. Thank you for another insightful post!
