Celebrating Failure

My most common failure that I have had recently has to be in my internship. I can not count the amount of mistakes that I have made that has been the internship an experience, to say the least. The failure at times has been my fault for not paying enough close attention and making the "rookie" mistakes. Then others have been because I was put under the assumption of knowing how to do something but my fellow coworkers forgot I am new and do not know everything yet. Plus there have been days where the seconds have felt like minutes with how ridiculous and stressful things were going at work. At the end of the day though I can look back at it all and see what I have learned, how I have grown and know what I do not want to deal with in the future. Failure is hard for me, I am a perfectionist when it comes to many things. But for somethings, I am open to mistakes happening and learning in stride with what is going on. This internship was that, taking the time to accept mistakes are going to happen and then be able to learn from them to be able to capitalize in the future. Failure is something that is emotional and mental for me, I like to think a lot and failures are something I ponder about quite a bit at times. I have been much more open recently to taking risks because I have learned for me at least, it is what life is all about. Taking that risk for that reward.
