William Whewell (1794-1866), an English Philosopher, scientist and theologian once said, “Every failure, is a step to success.”  It does not feel like that though, does it? Often, when we fail, we are consumed by disappointment, frustration, and shame, because we have been socialized to believe that only success is worthy.  We laud and celebrate success in every sphere of life, but there is often a reprimand or deafening silence when it comes to failure even though we know that children must first learn to crawl and will often fall (that is “fail”), before they can walk and then run.
