Embrace your failures



 
 

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
