Accepting Failure

I know what you’re thinking… Kim, you’re talking about failure on the last day of the year instead of discussing something more positive… Well, yes, I am.

Let me explain: failure isn’t bad. It propels you onto the right path, and guess what? Even if you fail on that new path, you’re still one step closer to your success. However, to get there, you must fail, accept those failures, and then try again. There’s no elevator to success or to meeting your goals; we’re taking the stairs, babe.

I started this account with the intention of being real with myself, pushing myself out of my comfort zone, and hoping to connect with others who share similar struggles, with the goal of building each other up. I clearly failed, as I have not been creating content or engaging with other content creators as I said I would.

So… let’s try this again. Here’s to a new year with new goals, failures, and successes. Let’s do this! 🥂

... Read moreFailure is often viewed negatively, but it is a vital part of the learning process and personal growth. When we embrace failure, we learn valuable lessons that help us to navigate future challenges. This concept has been emphasized by many successful individuals who attribute their achievements to learning from their failures. For instance, Thomas Edison famously said, 'I have not failed. I've just found 10,000 ways that won't work.' Such stories remind us that each setback can be a stepping stone toward achieving our dreams. Participating in communities that share similar aspirations can also enhance our journey. Engaging with content creators and thought leaders can provide fresh perspectives and motivation, fostering a culture of learning from one's mistakes. As you set your goals for the upcoming year, consider the importance of resilience. With each attempt, you refine not only your skills but also your mindset. Remember, it's not just about the destination, but the paths we take along the way, including the detours of failure. By fostering a supportive community where everyone can share their experiences related to failure and success, we can grow together and reach new heights. Let’s celebrate our failures, for they are the cornerstone of eventual success.

Maybe closure is accepting that the story changed
Maybe the reason some chapters are so hard to let go of… is because we spent so long imagining how they would’ve ended. Sometimes we’re not grieving what happened. We’re grieving what could have been. The version of the story we wrote in our heads. The plans we made. The future we pictur

Avoidants think there is nothing wrong with their behavior as long as you keep entertaining them. And when someone doesn’t think anything is wrong, they have no incentive to change. You are waiting on nothing.
