It’s Okay If You Failed
Failure stings, but there are so many ways to leverage it and benefit from it.
This month has been my try-hard month for a long time. Over the past several months, the government released a supplement package to help with financial relief for those who had fewer hours or lost work due to the pandemic.
I leveraged the funding for five months and used the generous amount of money as an excuse to not work so much. The fact I wasn’t that active caused me to make some money, but not a significant amount.
This month, I wanted to make up for it and start working hard again. Seeing if I can effectively replace the extra income that I was earning thanks to that program.
In short, I failed.
I didn’t even come close to earning my target and decided to leverage that program one last time.
Even though I’m good financially — especially with this final cheque from the government coming in — there is still that sting of failure. I couldn’t make enough money to not rely on this program — what my initial goal at the start of this month is.
Failure is something that we all experience. But as many other people have said before me, you can learn from those failures. Yes, there are certainly lessons you can get from it…
