When we feel like we've failed, it's easy to get caught up in self-criticism and feel like giving up. But what if "failure" isn't a reflection of our worth, but a sign that we were doing the best we could with what we had at the time?

Our best looks different every single day. Some days we have more energy, more clarity, and more support. Other days, we're navigating challenges we never expected. The important thing is to be kind to ourselves and remember that our effort, no matter how small it seems, is always enough.

Instead of seeing a setback as a sign to quit, let's see it as a moment for growth. Every experience teaches us something valuable. Let's pick ourselves up, learn the lesson, and move forward with compassion for our past self. You haven't failed; you've learned.
