If I fail, it means... I was scared but did it anyway.
If I fail, it means... I learn one way not to do it.

Great post Maria, your example of the baby, trying to walk is a good one, a baby doesn't know how to fail, it just get's on with it. We can all take a lesson from that.
Not just relate, still relating! I feel quite strongly on the subject of failure because I see what the fear of it does to so many and they don't realise it. Thanks for your inspiring prompt.

Thank you so much!! I am so glad you could relate. You have said it so beautifully too!

Love this post. I've been through failure and it took me such a long time to reframe it. But I've thankfully started to see it differently now.
Cheers to us, for being brave enough to start reframing. It truly can be so freeing isnt it. Even if it does take a few reminders now and then!
I agree!
I love how you used the example of a baby learning to walk. Such a helpful reframe and a reminder to practice self compassion 🫶🏼
Thanks so much Deanna, i have really found it so powerful.
