There is no way you can’t surpass the old success with the new lessons

If you are in the wake of what feels like a failure, know that one of the ways that failure wins is by confusing you. It begins to convince you that you are a failure and that the success you had once experienced or the success you dreamed of has slipped through your hands, never to be seen again.

This is one of the lies that failure tells us. First and foremost, ultimate success is living our lives from a place of wisdom, not reaching a measurable outcome and “making it” for good. Wisdom becomes abundant to us when we “fail.” If we are willing to continue to evolve, there are abundant lessons to learn in every failure, big or small. And if we decide to make wisdom and growth the goal, we can unearth the lessons and integrate them into our lives, making choices and decisions from a disciplined place of inner knowing. This decision, to learn and keep running towards our dreams, will change the trajectory of our lives.

You have not already peaked. There is no possible way you cannot have more success in the future than you did in the past now that you have learned your new lessons. You are wiser now.
