Do you think of failure as a part of growth? Failure happens and how you view it can be detrimental to our lives and our successes. Andrew Gust, a musician, elementary teacher, actor, and a friend of mine, contributes his experiences and how his change of perception of failure has shaped his life.  Note this, acceptance and compassion play a big part in rising up from failures. So remember to love and be easy on yourself. I hope you enjoy, my lovely conscious neighbors.
