5. Embracing Failure to Build Confidence

• Failure ≠ Incompetence

When you lose faith in yourself, failure seems like a sign that you should just give up - after all, you were never good at this from the start. But having confidence changes how you see setbacks. Instead of considering them final outcomes, you view them as pieces of information. What succeeded? What didn't? What can you adjust next time? People with confidence separate their self-worth from their achievements, making it easier to learn and adapt. They have enough faith in themselves to know that one unsuccessful attempt doesn't reflect their entire story.
