https://abs.twimg.com/emoji/v2/... draggable="false" alt="🧵" title="Thread" aria-label="Emoji: Thread">: I want to write a little bit about a topic that isn& #39;t talked about enough: failure. There& #39;s a lot of dialogue about using failure as a lesson to improve, and it CAN be. It also sometimes isn& #39;t about you at all, and is out of your control. All you can do then, is not give up.

I& #39;ve had some major wins. I& #39;ve fought hard for every single one of them, and I& #39;ve been extremely lucky too. But I& #39;ve also had some major losses, and times where it just was NOT MY SEASON. Times when nothing went right, no matter how hard I tried.

Or times when many things DID go right, but I didn& #39;t always get EVERYTHING, and those could be really hard too! Sometimes, failure was due to inexperience, something I could have done better, and could learn from, and sometimes, it was pure randomness and I missed out.

The biggest lesson I learned in those times when things were NOT MY SEASON is that 1) seasons change, and things will come around again and 2) no & #39;no& #39; is forever, unless you don& #39;t adjust your strategy, and you give up.

I think a lot of folx don& #39;t want to talk about failure, it& #39;s painful! It& #39;s natural and understandable to only present the good things, but I want to assure you, that the coolest person you know has wanted something and didn& #39;t get it. We& #39;ve all gone through it.

It doesn& #39;t mean you& #39;re not worthy. It doesn& #39;t meant it won& #39;t ever happen for you. It doesn& #39;t mean anything except that your success is out there still waiting for you, and we& #39;ve all been through it with you. I& #39;ve failed ten times for every win I& #39;ve ever had.

So if you& #39;re feeling discouraged, or knocked back about anything, def feel your feelings, but don& #39;t let it make you give up on yourself and your dreams. Don& #39;t you ever give up.
