Lessons from failure
I have failed on a small scale and I have failed largely. Some failures still shock me and some, I have gotten over. Here are some lessons I have learned:
Failure could be the beginning or the end of a goal. Only you can figure this out.
Some failures could be predicted.
It is hard to console yourself when you know you are responsible for the failure.
You may fail because you are aiming too low.
To overcome failure, look into the failures of others.
The last thing to do is worry.
You will not get over it, so find a way to get around it.
It will hurt your self-esteem, so seek other ways to repair it.
To minimize the effect of failure, expand your scope.
Don't attach yourself too much to a person, place, or thing.
Try to learn from it while it hurts.
Do not repeat the same mistake.
If you find yourself going through those same cycles, take a break.
Know when to share your failure and when to keep them to yourself.
Best, know who to share them with, let your journal know before your best friend.
