There’s always a point to failure, even if it’s to teach you never to do something in the same way again.

You can’t see it at the time. You’re too busy hurting and feeling awful to appreciate why something’s gone wrong or not worked out. But one thing you have to do is understand why something hasn’t worked out the way you’d wished, hoped or expected.

When failure happens to you – and it will, probably many, many times – ask yourself: What am I meant to learn from this?
