Thanks for sharing that personal insight.

My career is far from the place I want it to be and I've emotionally dealt with the setbacks by changing how I interpret failure.

I used to think of failure as lead bricks I'd collect and forever lug around whenever I didn't meet a goal. An infinite burden with no purpose.

Now I think of failure as a heavy work out. Rather than bearing a burden of failure, I fill the experience rips/tears with knowledge protein. It's a semi-silly analogy, but it's really helped me. Knowledge + experience = wisdom.

PS. Adioso is great.
