“My great concern is not whether you have failed, but whether you are content with your failure.” – Abraham Lincoln
Everyone fails at some point. If you don’t think you’ve failed it could mean that you’re either delusional or that you’re too stuck in your comfort zone.
If you try new things and want to stretch the limits, failure is inevitable. But failure isn’t bad. It can be one of the best ways to learn how to improve, by noticing what it is that you’re deficient or lacking.
Instead of trying not to fail, realize that it plays a key role in your overall success. But don’t be content with failing for failing’s sake. If you’re failing, the purpose is to learn from those mistakes and to make adjustments to improve your results. By reframing how you view failure, you can put a positive spin on it. Now, anytime you fail at something, you can see it as bringing you one step closer to success.
