Failure comes to all of us sometimes whether in our personal life or work life. Failure is viewed through our own lenses and we tend to internalize it and let it devour us. There is no harm in letting that failure take us for a bit as it helps us learn about ourselves and what is means to not be successful. It also can awaken us to look more clearly at what we do have around us and what can be successes that we don’t see and almost take for granted.
Raising our kids, holding down a job, being a friend – because ultimately we turn it around. We go back out with positive intentions and life surprises us with new experiences, new relationships and even greater success.
Sometimes life can build to greater success if you just hit the pause , take a deep breath and appreciate who you have become. 
You will find ‘better’ when you least expect it and at the strangest times
