Failure in a good way!

Hi!
I entered a competition that involved writing an essay and I did not win (I’m pretty sure I didn’t even come close to winning) and that’s okay!!!! It’s even good!!! I am so proud of myself for entering, I was late starting so I rushed to get it done but I did it, I submitted it even though it was scary, it helped me come up with new ideas that I’d love to pursue in the future, and I now feel a lot more comfortable with entering competitions! In the past there’s been competitions I haven’t entered because I was too scared, or times I haven’t won and have been extremely disappointed. I think I’ve done a good job at changing my perspective and turning this “failure” into something positive. Just wanted to share how far I’ve come
