Learned From Failure

An important thing I have learned from failure is that sometimes, failure is needed.

If I am not on the path I need to be on, a failure can force me to reexamine my journey.

If I am not making progress on the path I need to be on, a failure can show me the changes I need to make.

Sometimes, barely succeeding allows me to keep following a very difficult path, whereas failing allows me to abandon that path to follow an easier one.

I've learned that even though it is a blow to my ego, and feels rotten, failure sometimes is exactly what I need.
