Of course not. Who wants to reveal their warts or anything that would make us look less than.
But if you can get beyond your disappointment, maybe your feelings of negativity or even shame, failure can be an incredible, although a tough teacher.
When things go wrong, there is a reason. It’s important to stop and take a look at what did go wrong, and ask, what was in my control? What was not in my control?

Life is a journey and our paths are filled with ruts, downward slides, uphill battles, and hairpin turns. It is how we navigate and learn how to come through the tough parts that make us better at the work we do and as human beings.
