Celebrate Attempts Over Outcomes

Focusing on the process rather than the result is crucial for personal growth. Emphasizing the quantity of attempts encourages individuals to consistently engage in their pursuits without the fear of failure.

By celebrating every attempt, individuals can develop habits that pave the way for eventual improvement and success.
