Every setback gets a story attached to it, and that story quietly decides whether you grow from it or just carry it around. This is how to become a better narrator of your own history: the difference between explaining a failure and excusing it, how to find the honest lesson without the self-punishment, and a simple way to retell old disappointments so they add to your character instead of subtracting from your confidence. Steady, clear-eyed, and genuinely encouraging.
