My biggest takeaway is that Failure is a Redirection.
My first Print on Demand store was a big mess and a complete failure. But instead of giving up, I tried looking up Digital Marketing on the whole, back in 2021.
That's what helped me pivot towards Copywriting and Content Writing 6 months later. Today, I'm happy I make money as a Writer online.
If I had given up after my first startup's failure, I would've just gone back to my boring, miserable life of studying to participate in the rat race.
It's not that bad of a feeling. But coming out of it is!

There are no failures only lessons. I have been a perfectionist for as long as I remember but once I started seeing how it is affecting my life I have started realizing and trying to control my OCD urge.

My biggest takeaway from failure is that I only embark on projects that are worth failing at. For me, that means: If I attempt this and fail, will I have derived something simply out of attempting it? That something can be joy, learning something of value, relationships with people who I want to keep in my life even beyond the scope of said project?
I'd rather fail working on something I love, but then at least having spent my time and energy on something I enjoy, than simply grinding and hustling to achieve a certain goal (be it financial, societal impact, etc).
That said, I think this is a personal choice and everyone's gotta figure out what the right approach for them is. I'm glad there's people who have a different approach to this, because many of the things I enjoy in life are a direct result of their way of doing things, which is different from mine :)
