It suggests that loss is a crucial part of personal growth and development, and without allowing ourselves to grieve or acknowledge the things we lose, we fail to nourish our soul and fully embrace the transformative power of change.

Would you like me to give you a formula for... success? It's quite simple, really. Double your rate of failure. You're thinking of failure as the enemy of success.
