Not failing everything or often. However, failing and surviving the failure teaches endurance and hope. <\/p>\n<p>Reaching perfection is not attainable, however, many believe they have already reached it. That place is high above others, and not empathetic. <\/p>\n<p>I have been rejected at least 6 times formally by editors for book proposals. I have been rejected from jobs I wanted so bad that it hurt to receive the rejection. I have had losses and sorrow. I have learned the beauty of self-reflection, the compassion to love myself even when I fail, and the endurance to not give up. Failure teaches hope. Hope is what this world needs most. <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Failure is an asset.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":5,"featured_media":20422,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":[],"categories":[1],"tags":[1964,658],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/faithfilledmom.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/20417"}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/faithfilledmom.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/faithfilledmom.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/faithfilledmom.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/5"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/faithfilledmom.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=20417"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/faithfilledmom.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/20417\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/faithfilledmom.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/20422"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/faithfilledmom.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=20417"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/faithfilledmom.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=20417"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/faithfilledmom.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=20417"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
