Perhaps there’s something you don’t like about yourself, like your past. No one’s perfect, and while we can’t change our past, we can change the meaning you give to it. Now, failing out of a business becomes a demonstration of your resolve to get up on your feet and not let the story end there.

Stay tuned, and stay awesome!
