Permission to Fail, or the Best Gift I Ever Gave Myself

Permission to fail is a deep breath, a confession. Permission to fail is the covenant I build with myself. By making failure something to be accepted, I learn to trust myself to overcome that failure. I trust myself to survive failure because I’ve done it before. I trust myself to learn from my experiments, from my mistakes. I trust myself to do better the next time. I trust myself to get up.
