Seven years ago, when Em was 4 months old, I said “enough”. I was ready to take off the baby weight and tired of rocking maternity clothes. I did well for about 2 weeks and the fell off the wagon. I failed. When Em was 9 months, I said, “enough”. I did well for 1 month and then fell off the wagon. I failed. When Em was 1 ½ years old, I said “enough”. But this time was different. Instead of worrying about failing since that had been my track record, I said, “as long as you don’t quit… you can’t fail!” Sometimes we have to shift our mindset and look at failure as a chance to grow and learn. Every day, I look at ways to fail forward and keep growing as a person.
