How Failure Shaped Me

In my first post, I reflected on John Maxwell’s Failing Forward—a book I wish I had read much earlier in life. Its message is simple but transformative: failure is not final unless you quit. This second article shares how that truth has shown up in my life—sometimes painfully, often redemptively. I hope these reflections remind you, as they’ve reminded me, that failure is not the end of the story—it is often the point where the real story begins.
