What's your relationship with failure?

Hi Makers. Curious to hear your thoughts about failure. So many of us are working on projects that may succeed or may fail. I used to fear failure but over the last few years I've been teaching myself to take more risks and get comfortable with failing. I see failure as a chance to learn. What are your thoughts about failure?

I used to not mind failure all that much; but that changes over time. For example.. you try once and fail, that's fine. Try something else and fail, still fine. In the middle, you adapt, change strategies, etc.. but when you fail again on the 8th, 9th, or 10th try.. it becomes frustrating. What am I missing? Is the timing just not right? Is the market wrong? Is the design poor? Is the team not the best? Or is 11 just the magic number?
