This is the uncomfortable gratitude practice you need - being thankful for your failures, setbacks, and the hard things that shaped you.

Here's what we're exploring about reframing failure:

• Why looking back at setbacks is difficult but necessary: avoiding them means missing powerful lessons
• The self-forgiveness journey: facing every moment of self-betrayal through daily meditation (gut-wrenching but fruitful)
• Reframing the question: instead of "why did this happen to me?" ask "what did this teach me? who did I become?"
• Growth Inventory exercise: identify three past failures and find at least one skill/insight gained from each
• Healing holds deeper lessons: sometimes what you learn from the recovery process matters more than the experience itself

From doing self-forgiveness meditation daily during depression recovery to recognizing there are reasons you're where you are (many out of your control), this episode challenges you to expand your gratitude practice beyond the good stuff.

Nobody loves looking at failures. We'd rather focus on successes and achievements. But when we avoid examining setbacks, we miss out on lessons about resilience, redirection, and what we truly value.

Be thankful for the challenges that made you stronger, the losses that taught you what matters, the failures that redirected you toward your purpose. Appreciate how far you've come.
