Your worth was never tied to the outcome.

When something we worked hard for fails, it can feel like we failed as people. Like our value dropped with the result.

But your worth was never tied to the outcome. You were worthy before you started, worthy while you tried, and worthy after it didn't work.

The storm may have ruffled your petals. You're still standing.

Separate what you did from who you are. Only one of them was ever up for grading.
