Consider the following positive statements about failure. remind yourself of them whenever you become disenchanted or depressed because a desired outcome hasn't happened, you fall short of a goal, or a change isn't right for you:
- Failure tells you what doesn't work and when to change direction.
- Failure leads to new ideas.
- Failure provides you with an opportunity to try something new.
Without the existence of mistakes, failure, or error, there's no risk-taking and no opportunity for growth. As Kathryn D. Cramer,Ph.D., wrote in her boook Staying on Top When Your World Turns Upside Down, " I am sure you remember the old adage: 'To Err is Human/To Forgive is Devine" as your first reaction whenever you discover that one of your success strategies has failed. Saying this phrase to yourself can make you proud that you have tried to restore your vitality.
