There's more that unites us than divides us. One of the many things we have in common? Failure. There comes a point in everyone's life when things don't go as planned -- in big ways or small ones. And while we're afraid to admit our own failures, we love to hear stories of failure, and resilience of others.
So maybe failure can be something more than just a moment where we didn't get what we wanted. Maybe failure can be more than just a tool for learning. Maybe failure can help unite us. Maybe.
