Aston Wenham - NDIS Support Worker

Today’s Heroic inspiration via Brené Brown.

Viewing our "failures" as "learning opportunities" is a powerful reframe.

When we make an earnest attempt at something meaningful to us and we fall short, we learn and get better.

We win or we learn
And, when we view learning as winning, we can't lose!
