Failing Forward-A Defining Moment

Learn how to embrace failure as a stepping stone toward growth. Failing forward is about turning setbacks into defining moments for personal and wellness transformation.

I think we all have times in our life where we feel like a failure. For some, it’s a new job that your learning, it’s being a new parent, it’s feeling stuck, or for me, it was a literal failure of one of the most important tests of my life. A test that was the key to unlocking my future, of becoming a Naturopathic Doctor. 

Last week I had an amazing opportunity to reflect on a defining moment in my life. I wrote my story of “failing forward” which got published on Canvas Rebel

I share more about this story, and the take home message was a quote I had come across during one of the most challenging times. 

“Fall Seven Times, Stand up Eight.”-Japanese Proverb

For me, it was fall and fail 5 times, read more about it here.
 

Failure isn’t permanent, give it your best, and surrender.
