Thanks so much for this - in my experience, my success is because I'm able to look at mistakes as lessons. Not that I have all of life figured out, but, having just left my $1m/year paycheck to be fulfilled, I've never been happier than now, with all this "learning" - thank you for this.

Part of the challenge of being human for me is remembering I can hold both/and. I can grieve my lost work AND treasure the lessons learned creating it. Your story reminded me of this, so thank you!

And thank you for sharing my essay! I had never focused much on interruptions before and it turned out I had a lot to say! 😅

I love the idea of using Both/And here. I had not thought of that but that feels like the best approach!! Thanks for sharing and thanks for your awesome blog about interruptions. Made me think...
