You can only build resilience by accepting that everything will one day fail. The more ready you are to pivot when it does, the sooner you’ll see big changes coming, the better you’ll react to them when they arrive, and the faster you’ll get back to business-as-usual once they hit.

If you’ve still got debt in your life, you’ll be better off using those funds to pay off your student loans or the balance on your credit card instead of stashing that money away.

The best you can do is to learn from your mistake. Believe that you’ll make a better choice next time, and move on. Doing so will help you learn to be more trusting of yourself and your decision-making skills.
