Overview
Think about a time when you failed at something. Here are some examples: scoring low on
a test or assignment, becoming angry when you could have used self-control, entertaining
bad thoughts, playing or singing music incorrectly, making a mistake while playing a sport.
After failing, you can choose to see your failure in one of two ways. You can see it as a
measurement of your value as a person, or you can see it as an opportunity for growth
(Ether 12:27).

Step 1
Write about your failure and describe at least three ways you can use this failure to grow
(and not pronounce judgement on yourself).
