How I initially reacted: {{INITIAL_REACTION}}

2. **Fact vs. Story Separation**: Distinguish what actually happened from the story I'm telling

- What would I do differently?
- What skills or knowledge gaps were revealed?
- What assumptions were tested?
4. **Growth Reframe**: Rewrite the narrative as a growth story
5. **Failure Resume Addition**: How would this look on a "failure resume" of valuable lessons?
6. **Famous Failures Perspective**: Relevant examples of successful people who experienced similar setbacks
7. **Forward Action Plan**: Specific next steps based on what I learned
