The Revolution: Since we are always telling our own stories, we can write a new ending. In other words, once we have gone through the reckoning and the rumble, we can learn from those experiences and change the way that we engage with the world. We can take that failure, understand it in an honest way, and then grow for the future.
We all are familiar with the phrase, “If at first you don’t succeed, try, try again.” And, this is definitely part of Brene Brown’s philosophy. But, it’s how we try again that makes all the difference. We need to recognize the failures and not “gild” them or sugarcoat them. Only by truly reckoning and rumbling with those failures can we have a revolution. May Chanukah usher in a season of personal revolution – may we all rise from our failures with renewed perspective and strength.
