Members reflected deeply on the question of whether they have ever felt they failed themselves, with responses ranging from occasional regret to a firm refusal to see life that way. Several members shared personal struggles including leaving school, battling addiction, and health challenges, while many described finding strength through faith, family, and a commitment to keep pushing forward. A recurring theme was self-compassion and resilience, with many reminding one another that setbacks are lessons, not defeats, and that choosing to rise each day is its own kind of success.

Yes, in retrospect . The only times I felt I failed is when I I didn't prepare nor perform to the level of my capabilities or when one voluntarily puts down their own flag. Failure to me is not so much not finding success for a try as that for me is a building block, a lesson, and so it is stated "you always pass failure on your way to success. "
Or, " failure is not falling down but refusing to get up"
Or," successful people don't fear failure but understand that it's necessary to learn and grow from."
Or " don't judge me by my successes judge me by how many times I fell down and got up again"
Or, " Most great people attained their greatest success just one step beyond their greatest failure.
Lol or another perspective is this:
"I have not failed, I've just found 10,000 ways that won't work.

A lot. I also feel as if I failed my family, especially my dad. I just feel as if I did not live up to their expectations of me. I am only glad that I am here to help my mom now

Life is a lesson, yes we look back and wish we can change things but if you concentrate on living now to the fullest doing what you love, you can look back and just be thankful for today and everything you’ve lived through ❤️ Love yourself for all you’ve learned there’s always an opportunity to enjoy life and for dreams to come true even if they are new ones! Never let the past cloud your sunshine 🤗
