Life is a story. Make yours a best seller.

Sometimes life sucks.
Sometimes I fail.
Sometimes that failure doesn't teach me anything.

Everyday I hear the phrase "You learn from your failures."
And I get that.
But not always.

Sometimes I fail and I don't learn anything.
Failing that project even though I worked so hard
Failing that huge test even after staying up on those late nights
Failing that application that I worked weeks on

This didn't help me.

So when you do learn from your failures.
Take it as a blessing.
You got stronger.
You got better.
And that's truly amazing.
