"I can learn this if I keep working at it and ask for help if needed."

I will learn from my mistakes

I will never improve

I don't care about my team

I will always mess up

It needs rest

It grows with challenges

It can be replaced

It is always strong

By ensuring you never face obstacles

By encouraging you to see obstacles as opportunities to learn

By making obstacles less challenging
