“Dont let your failure define you. Learn from it.”
-By Barack Obama
My thoughts: Failure has a potential to debilitate us. but we need to stop rehashing the failure because that is what is debilitating. When you rehash, you fail not once (the actual time) but each subsequent time you relive the incident. You have to be compassionate to yourself. If you are not, how can you expect it from others. You have to talk to yourself as if you are talking to a child, motivating them to move on. This is because we assume wrongly that as adults we should not be making a mistake, and a mistake made by a child is forgivable.
