Failure is
something
we can avoid
only by
saying
nothing,
doing
nothing,
and
being
nothing.
— Dennis Waitley
Reclaiming failure is about owning failure – making failure work for us instead of being something to fear or avoid. By understanding how failure works, and talking through tactics for changing our relationship with failure, we can learn faster, grow more, and achieve things we might not have even attempted before.
