What are you good at?

Life has a way of teaching us through trial and error, and I’ve had my fair share of both and I think I am fairly good at learning from them. My greatest strength lies in my ability to analyze myselfmy mistakes, my failures, and the solutions that help me move forward. This skill, honed over five decades, wasn’t born from ease but from necessity, shaped by my instinct for self-preservation. I believe this is a trait many of us share, yet only a few embrace it fully, putting in the effort to learn from past missteps.

My life is built on a foundation of mistakes. Each error, whether small or monumental, has strengthened my resolve and clarified my path. As someone without a robust safety net, I’ve learned that falling is inevitable, but staying down is not. When I stumble, my only option is to stand up, dust myself off, and keep moving forward.

This journey of self-reflection isn’t always comfortable. It requires honesty, humility, and the courage to face our flaws head-on. But it’s through this process that we grow. My mistakes have taught me resilience, adaptability, and the value of perseverance. They’ve shown me that failure isn’t the endit’s a stepping stone to something better.
