Fail ≠ Fell

I saw a fantastic tweet from Emmanuel Acho, former Texas & NFL linebacker turned broadcaster and author.

You didn’t fail, you fell. As long as you get up and keep moving forward, you win.

It’s only human to stumble. Again and again and again. But a stirring reminder to not equate falling with failing. Not easy in practice, but there’s a blessing somewhere.

All our blunders, bungles, fumbles, and flubs? They are only mistakes — if we don’t learn something.

Brush it off, chin up, and carry on. You got this!
