Daily writing prompt

How has a failure, or apparent failure, set you up for later success?

View all responses

Failure should always lead to success. It’s not a negative thing, and should be expected during any venture or learning process. Unless maybe I have a rare view on the topic.

I like to think of word “Fail” itself this way:

F.requent
A.ttempts
I.n
L.earning

As they say, Practice makes progress, and progress requires things to fail. Every major innovation we have today, failed many times during development/creation.

I will admit, it’s not easy to shift your mindset to think of it in such a way. It did take me a few years myself.
