Set me up

How has a setback, or apparent setback, set you up for later success?

Set up for success? I think that learning something new is a good place to feel angst. Most learning involves setbacks. I forget this.

Sometimes these failures or setbacks feel super discouraging , but always on the other side is some knowledge gained, some skill mastered. some little success.

The one thing I keep learning is to let the vibe go. I don’t need to swirl around in disappointing details. I can affect my energy around my failures (failure sounds so permanent, which it doesn’t have to be). I can and I have. This might be what I’m needing most to practice at this point. Making Instagram reels has so much to teach me!
