Don’t Let Past Failures Create Doubt

rocks

When we are about to take on new adventures, or re-starting old initiatives again, we can often find ourselves questioning our abilities to see this through. If we have tried in the past, and failed, we find ourselves expecting or predicting that this same pattern could happen once more. However, there may be a more productive way to look at our past failures.

We all know the principle that we learn from our failures, however, our negative self-talk and the doubt that creeps into our minds about others letting us down, circumstances working against us, or a lack of ability or tenacity within ourselves, can often undermine our confidence to build our future.

But we are not the same person anymore – we have built on our previous selves, gained insight into our faults and strengths, and we can use them with success now. Our failures and mistakes are now the foundation that help us to make strong and confidence steps forward.

So, let’s start again.
