It must be the time of the year that makes people reflect and change the trajectory of their efforts in the year to come. I'm there with you. Most people say don't call it a failure, you didn't fail, despite it feeling like that. Everything you have done has gotten you to this point in your life, for some of that you have to be grateful, you have to look at the good things in your life and say, if it were not for this journey I would not have these things in my life. The experiences matter, the journey matters and the outcomes along the way are not as binary as you'd think. In your eyes you've failed to build a successful company, but if you reframe that by changing your expectations then you'll see how much you've grown, how much you've changed and that without trying to build these things you may have lived a life of regret, a lesser life. Head up, chin up. Take some time to breathe and reflect, but don't let it consume you. The best years of your life are still ahead of you. The journey isn't over. Maybe it's not the entrepreneurial journey you want, but it could be something else that lets you embody that other ideas, people and places.
