Lessons Learned: Failure is just missed expectations

One of the key lessons learned in this episode is that failure is simply missed expectations. The speaker reflects on the popular idea of embracing failure and recognizes that even though we may say it's okay to fail, deep down, we still struggle to fully accept it. However, the speaker shares a quote from Epictetus that helped them understand the concept of failure better. They explain that when we have expectations around something and it doesn't meet those expectations, we consider it a failure. But if we can let go of those expectations and simply accept things as they are, we can learn to deal with reality and not get upset when things don't go as planned.
