Absolutely, Pam. This is the whole theme of my blog~my failures which increased my faith. I expect to keep failing and continue learning, too. 💛

It builds an inner appreciation of where we are, where we want to be and where we do not dear lady. And like all wisdom, once found it rests above the last failure and builds a little more of that bridge to freedom 😀 ❤️ 🙏🏽 🦋

Failure isn’t such a bitter pill to swallow when you consider what it teaches us. Now that’s sweet!

Failure the precondition to picking one’s self back up, dusting off, and getting back into the game. The place one learns to be undaunted by disappointment. Vital training for those situations when success does not simply and gently tumble into one’s lap. So yes those who do not include failure in their resume are only half formed.
