When building relationships, I tend to only share jokes, facts about me, my opinions on the world, or situations… But, how often do I share my previous failures? Eleanor Roosevelt said, “No man is defeated without until he has first been defeated within.”
I Have Found That Failure Can Either Define You To Complacency Or It Can Push You To Greatness.
Allowing myself to learn from my failures, I can grow in the process, learn what to do differently next time. When viewing our successes and failures with the proper lens, allows us to be vulnerable enough with someone for them to see us through full transparency. This will build a strong relationship.
