Thinking about failure means going back to root causes. Most often, my failures stem from one of two places: a blind spot that I had or a comfort zone that I was in. I either didn’t see something, or I assumed something that wasn’t the right assumption. And those eventually lead to some form of failure.

It’s good to be constantly aware of your blind spots and your comfort zones. The faster the world moves, the more blind spots you tend to have and the more likely you are to fall back to comfort zones. Finding mechanisms to push you out of your comfort zone, and to hold up a mirror to your blind spots, I think those are the ways that you learn from failure and try to mitigate going forward.
