When you have experienced a loss, it is hard to see the purpose in the pain. Many times you may think 'I failed, I can't do this again'. Oftentimes we shrink back from the chance to move forward in life...to try new things, to be courageous and bold. We have to start looking at the loss differently. What could it be teaching you? How have you grown? Failures often humble us and give us new perspectives on life. Failures eventually actualize realizations.
