Our modern society conditions us to avoid fiascos. The thought of failing stresses us out when we are expected to impress our manager with exceptional results just as it did when we were kinds wanting to impress our parents in a school play.
While a failure might knock you down temporarily, it’s important
to get back on your feet with the valuable lessons shrouded by the letdown.
These lessons are often overlooked as we are preoccupied with feelings of
shame.
Be mindful and don’t let discouragement hold you back. Embrace
your failures and look for what they teach you instead of what
you dread in them. Find that hard? Here is some advice to look at letdowns from
a different angle:
-
Let it be an
inspiration. A
bad experience will allow you to approach a future challenge with newly
gained insights.
- Let it build
your courage. When
you are more comfortable with failing you’ll not only be able to take more
risks, your mind won’t be clouded by anxiety and fear of failing again.
- Let it motivate you. When you
know what disappointment feels like, you’ll be more focused and work
harder to elevate yourself.
Still Learning,
Honey
