Failing Doesn’t Make You a Failure (https://www.smartguy.com/) We’ve all failed. A test. A relationship. A job. A dream. That sinking feeling of getting it wrong can shake your confidence and whisper lies like, “You’ll never get it right,” or worse, “You are a failure.” But let’s clear something up: Failing is an event - not an identity. It doesn’t define who you are. It defines a moment. And guess what? Everyone - yes, everyone - has failed on the way to becoming great. Take Michael Jordan. Cut from his high school basketball team. He could’ve quit. He could’ve believed the coach’s judgment was the end of his story. But he didn’t. He turned failure into fuel - and became one of the greatest athletes of all time. He later said, “I’ve failed over and over and over again in my life. And that is why I succeed.”
