One of the reasons Kiran and MeiMei have one of the most beautiful relationships I’ve ever witnessed is that they have both failed. Not only have they failed, but they’ve failed big! They have put their hearts on the line, and swung for the fences only to be met with rejection, or disappointment, or a big old strike-out. What they so desperately dreamed and wanted did not unfold the way they had envisioned.

And yet, these big failures did not break them.

Kiran and MeiMei choose to use their failures as catalysts for growth and learning. But using failure as an asset is not easy! It requires crazy amounts of courage, because failure is scary!

It’s this irrational fear of failure that most often stands in the way of our ability to fully live our lives and love others without reservation.
