Why is Growth important for you in Raleigh?
The history of progress is a history of 'productive failure.' If you aren't making mistakes, you aren't working at the edge of your potential. The Silicon Valley mantra 'Fail Fast, Fail Forward' isn't an invitation to be sloppy; it’s an invitation to iterate quickly.
When we stigmatize mistakes, we hide them—and we learn nothing. But when we view mistakes as neutral data points, they become priceless. A scientist doesn't mourn a failed experiment; they record the results, adjust the parameters, and try again.
By depersonalizing your errors—recognizing that the *attempt* failed, not that *you* are a failure—you preserve your self-esteem and your agency. Today, look at your missteps as a scientist would. Each 'no' and each error is just narrowing down the path to your eventually 'yes.' Research on the brain suggests that while mistakes originally trigger a drop in dopamine (frustration), reframing them as learning opportunities keeps your motivation high and your prefrontal cortex engaged.
The Mechanism
Errors trigger a 'Prediction Error' signal (a drop in dopamine) that often leads to frustration and withdrawal. Cognitive reframing allows the prefrontal cortex to reinterpret this signal as 'learning signal,' which maintains motivation and facilitates memory consolidation for the new, corrected behavior.

- USE GROWTH LANGUAGE Notice your self-talk today. Practice saying 'I learned that...' instead of 'I messed up.' Shift the focus from blame to insight.
- CELEBRATE THE ATTEMPT Give yourself credit for the courage it took to try, even if the result wasn't what you planned. Risk-taking is a prerequisite for greatness.
