Why Your Greatest Failure Might Be Your Best Teacher
What if everything you thought was falling apart was actually falling into place? Consider the executive who loses a high-powered job only to discover a calling for teaching, or the person whose health crisis becomes the doorway to deeper self-awareness. We live in a world that worships achievement and fears failure, yet something strange happens when life refuses to follow our carefully laid plans. The container we've spent decades building-our career, our identity, our certainties-suddenly cracks open. And through those cracks, an unexpected light begins to enter. This is the radical proposition at the heart of spiritual transformation: that life unfolds in two distinct halves with fundamentally different tasks, and the transition between them often requires exactly the kind of falling we spend the first half trying to avoid. The first half focuses on building a strong container-establishing identity, creating security, finding our place in the world. But eventually, that container must break open before we can discover what it was meant to hold all along.
