13 Is My Lucky Number
I’ve always had a soft spot for the number 13. Most people avoid it. I choose it.
It’s my reminder to walk towards what feels uncomfortable, not away from it.

I recently received Fail on Purpose: The 0% Chance Mindset by Uanthern Loh, and it immediately resonated. Not because it taught me something completely new, but because it put words to something I’ve always believed. I’ve never been afraid to fail. My question has always been simple: what is the worst thing that can happen?
And the truth is, the worst thing is that you fail. But that’s not really the worst thing. You learn, you get back up, and you move on. Nobody dies, nobody gets hurt. It’s all far less dramatic than we make it out to be.
What the book does beautifully is reframe failure as something you can practice. Not avoid, not fear, but actively step into. Because the more you experience it, the less power it has over you.
In business and in life, that changes everything. When failure stops feeling like a verdict, you become freer to try, to build, and to begin. And sometimes, that’s all it takes.
