While celebrating successes and achievements is valuable, it's equally important to reflect on mistakes and learn from them. Michael shares one of his favorite quotes, which emphasizes that we often gain more insight from our failures than from doing things correctly. He also highlights the dangers of focusing solely on wins—warning that ignoring losses or overlooking weaknesses in areas like finances, health, and personal growth can lead to significant blind spots.
