It happens to all of us. We’re in a situation where we have to perform, make a decision, or accomplish something important, and instead, we fail. The outcome isn’t pleasant and we are embarrassed.
The reality, of course, is that no one can be right all the time. We may fail at something but, hopefully, it usually isn’t the end of the world.
The key is to not dwell on the past but rather to keep moving forward. Is it possible that not succeeding might even have positive benefits in the long run?
Too often we focus on … what has happened as a major disaster. But when we … step back and evaluate the disaster, it usually turns out that … it’s almost always one you can move past.
