Failure itself does not prevent anything. If we flunk an exam, it is not the result that gets in our way, but the conversation that takes place in our minds once we receive it. A person can rely on the whims of emotion, lash out in anger or disappointment and vow to drop out of the course or only put the bare minimum effort in from here on. On the other hand, they may reflect and take on the feedback or learning from the experience, and ask ‘what can I do from now on to get stronger from this?’. Our emotions and self-talk are vital ingredient in our success and it is not something that we are passive in, or victims of. You are the only person who constructs your inner self-talk. It doesn’t matter if you’ve been brought up a certain way – you decide on how you view each event in your life. So attempt to reshape any rash or negative reactions in your mind to seeming ‘failures’, and view it as a turning point that can propel you onto the perfect course for you.
