Your post definitely urged me to reassess my failures as well. One thing that I did notice was how you attributed failure as a means to get closer to your friends, family and to God. That resounds with me as well.

I have had my shares of failures, as everyone else has, and truly misery loves company. I realized how my personal blunders and mistakes brought me to people who would be my support system.

I guess, at times, failures just reminds us to moderate ourselves and realize that we are not in control of everything; that people are important; and that constant improvement has to be done to ensure "success".

I had a great read @morken!
