The F Factor
Failure is an inherent part of life, and especially when you lead a creative life. Creativity does not follow a recipe — there is no instruction book, and therefore the results are never guaranteed. When you make creative decisions, you take a risk by definition, so failure is a valid option.
Realizing failure is part of the game is essential. But embracing it and seeing the opportunities it embeds is a game-changer. Failures are not only an inherent part of growth. They can also be the seeds of potential breakthroughs.
