When I was a kid, I watched an episode of Arthur that really stuck with me. It was about this kid who was really into basketball and wanted to join the school team. But he was terrible at it and kept missing shots during tryouts. He was so embarrassed that he wanted to give up and go home. But then his mom told him something that really resonated with me: “It’s ok to fail, as long as you keep trying.” That simple lesson has stuck with me ever since, and it’s helped me push through difficult times in my life. Even if I don’t succeed at something, I know that it’s ok as long as I keep putting in the effort.
