I have failed many times before

“I have failed many times before.”

The words sting a little, don’t they? They carry the weight of sleepless nights, half-finished plans, and that hollow ache that comes from watching something you cared about slip through your fingers—again. Maybe it was a business idea that didn’t take off. Maybe it was a relationship you thought would last. Or maybe it was simply the quiet promise you made to yourself—this time will be different—only to find yourself standing in the same place months later, wondering what went wrong.

Failure has a way of making itself personal. It doesn’t just whisper that something didn’t work; it tries to convince you you didn’t work. It sneaks into your self-talk, your posture, even the way you dream. You start playing smaller, speaking softer, cushioning your hopes in case they fall again.

But here’s something we rarely admit: failure isn’t a single event. It’s a process—an education we never asked for but desperately need. Think about it: every person you admire has their own graveyard of failed attempts. They’ve just learned to stop digging up the bones.

A friend once told me, “I’ve started over so many times, it feels like I never start forward.” That hit me hard. Because starting over can feel like a punishment when it’s actually a kind of progress in disguise. You’re not looping—you’re layering. Each time you fail, you’re not back at zero; you’re back at experience.

Still, it’s easy to forget that when you’re knee-deep in disappointment. You tell yourself you lack discipline, talent, luck—whatever label fits the moment. But what if that’s not the truth? What if failure is just feedback, a rough draft of your success? The problem isn’t that we fail—it’s that we treat failure like a verdict instead of a teacher.

So, what do you do when you’ve failed more times than you can count? You pause. You breathe. You look at the wreckage not as proof of your limits, but as evidence of your persistence. You were brave enough to try. That’s no small thing.

Then, get curious. Not judgmental—curious. Ask yourself: What was this trying to teach me? Maybe it was patience. Maybe it was timing. Maybe it was that you were chasing something that didn’t really belong to you. The answers aren’t always comfortable, but they’re always useful.

And when you’re ready—and you will be—start again. But this time, bring what you’ve learned with you. Not the shame, not the noise, but the wisdom that comes from falling and standing up anyway.

Because here’s the truth: success doesn’t come from getting it right the first time; it comes from refusing to let failure be the last word.
