Hi! I'm sorry to hear that your spine injury is back. Wishing for a speedy recovery for you, hope that PT helps.
All these turned out to be lies I've been telling myself for the longest time and when I started believing that it's okay to fail and to fail endlessly until I learn a thing or two, I've accepted the fact that failure is inevitable. And if I had to fail more than I could imagine just to explore where my potential ends, I'd gladly do so.
Been there, done that. I like the way you summarized it. Awesome mindset!
Feel better soon, stay happy and safe.❤️
