How Do You Deal with Failure?

Article by The Global Spiritualists Association

Most people get upset when they fail at something. Everyone wants to be successful, but the truth is that, from time to time, we all make mistakes. Some failures have big consequences. You may have invested in stocks that didn’t do well causing you to lose a sizable sum of money. You might have chosen the wrong spouse and be miserable.

Sometimes we make those small errors in judgment from time to time, such as agreeing to take on an extra workload at your job and then finding out that it overtaxes you. Now that you’ve taken on the responsibility and you’re doing a great job, the boss won’t let you out of it. What do you do?

Let’s face it … if you’re human, you’ll eventually fail at something.  And whether it’s something big or small, you will have a choice to make: will you learn any lessons from the mistake? Or just brush it under the rug and keep going?

Personal Improvement Tips

Many times, we do the latter; it’s just easier and more expedient. But some mistakes give us a valuable opportunity to learn and grow. Each time you’re willing to sit down and give some serious thought to why you failed, you gain insight into your own decision-making processes.
