Lesson 6: Failure Is Just Expensive Tuition (Start Collecting Degrees)

This lesson hits deep:

Poor people think failure is proof they’re doomed.

Rich people think failure is a receipt.

You already paid for the pain.

You may as well take the lesson with you.

Think of every setback like this:

• 💸 “That breakup that wrecked me?” → emotional intelligence degree.
• 💸 “That bad business idea?” → entrepreneurship degree.
• 💸 “That job I lost?” → resilience degree.
• 💸 “That person who scammed me?” → street-smarts degree.

You’ve been studying life longer than you think.

Failure only wins if you ignore what it taught you.

But here’s the gratitude twist most people never see:

🌱 Gratitude makes failure compost.

Not perfume — compost.

It doesn’t sugarcoat.

It transforms.

When you look at a mistake with humility and presence, the meaning changes.

The story changes.

You change.

Identity hates failure (“This proves I suck”).

Gratitude digests failure (“This taught me something real”).
