Sometimes failure is inevitable. Sometimes we can’t help but fall flat on our faces, no matter how hard we try. This is life’s way of humbling us. Think about what we would be like if we never failed. We would all be arrogant, entitled freaks, walking around, thinking that we’ve done nothing wrong. We wouldn’t learn from our mistakes, and we would never grow.. We would all just bump into each other as egos forever and ever. But luckily, life gives us a way out of that. It isn’t always easy. Failure can be humiliating. It can bruise our sense of self.
Think about that time you accidentally pulled on a door that said push. You read the sign clear as day, and yet here you are struggling to get into an unlocked door. This should humble us. This should remind us that we are imperfect. We have a lot of work to do on ourselves yet, and that is a wonderful thing.
