How has a failure, or apparent failure, set you up for later success? – Asks the daily prompt.

I answered this question 2 years ago in a post titled – Righting Failure – but I’ll add a new one to the list.

Midway through my professional career I decided to go out on my own, with two partners and form our own business. It didn’t work out for me, and I felt like I failed. I wasn’t really suited for role I was playing. Starting over again from 40 years old is scary but I landed a great job at The Washington Post and spent the rest of my career there.
