Embracing Mistakes as Opportunities for Personal and Professional Development.
How do we define failure? We’ve all experienced failure in one way or the other; most times that simply means that we did not achieve what we expected. When faced with failure, we tend to feel anger towards ourselves or others, leading to discouragement and a reluctance to try again. We may also feel embarrassed, perceiving our lack of success as an indicator of personal inadequacy, telling ourselves phrases like "I can't do this" or "I'm not good enough."
Change The Definition Of Failure
The only way to push past our failures is to change our mindset and change our definition of failure. Everyone fails at some point in business and in life, even if they’re small failures. The most famous inventors and inspirational people in the world have failed more times than they can count. We should look at our failures as an opportunity for learning. Every time we fail at something we should assess, learn, and try again. Our failure should no longer be defined by whether we succeed or not, but by whether we give up. Learn to accept small losses for BIG wins! Let your impending success be your motivation despite the minor setbacks.
