How has a failure, or apparent failure, set you up for later success?

There are no categorical successes or failures, but different points of view. The context, can define the outcome, but the important thing is how you are living the experience and not how others make you feel.
A failure feeling, sometimes, in a difficult moment of the life, when we are psychologically weaker, it becomes a block.
Instead,when I think that the life is made of phases and to make it work well, I need to accept change because it is necessary to achieve success.
What I do is an expression of myself and an activity fails when it doesn’t more represent me really, so…🤔
A failure helps the birth of a new idea.😀
This is how I have had my own experiences, not purely work- related. I change the way I develop an idea, until the results are clear; then, I decide to move forward with that path or go for another new.
According to a holistic principle, I can have more interests, using them in different way and times, feeling me completely and well.👍😃
