How did you get over Failure?

The Failure: I failed in a committed relationship. I must admit he was a good guy.
How I got Over it: I found another guy...lol

Lesson Learnt: Move on for something better without regrets!

I always follow the words: 'live and learn'. I always view my past failures as a lesson and a reminder what to avoid. History repeats itself if nothing goes through your senses and nothing is retained. The whole process involves constant growth. Keeping positive encourages me in getting through my past failures and my anxieties of the future! The proper mindset goes a long way.

It may be a cliche but I have found the following quote by Winston Churchill most useful in times of stress:

"Success is never permanent, failure is never fatal"

Ultimately, we will always face failure, it is the price you pay for gaining experience and learning and trying new things. What you need to do is to learn not to fear failure, rather be able to learn from it when it happens and accept it. Having a positive attitude will not stop you failing, but you can utilise failure rather than just curse it.

Life is meant to be difficult sometimes and I believe we are the stronger for it. Indeed, as Marcus Aurelius said:

"The art of living is more like wrestling than dancing"

Learn, resist and keep going, after all we all face the same struggles and end in time.

In my mind, I think the entire life should contain success and failure, so I consider failure is as the same as success.

I have failed a lot! I have lost more more of my own money and others than some people make in a life time. I'm also going through a divorce. So I know a little about failure.

I think one of the most important things to remember about failure is that failure is an event. Failure is not who you are or what you could be.

I've found too many people who think of failure as who they are or something that they are.

If you make failure into a big deal it will own you.

Children don't know what failure is. If you watch children play you can see that they don't understand the concept of failure.

If you have ever experienced a child learning to ride a bicycle with out training wheels you have seen someone with no concept of failure. The child falls over and skins their knee. They may cry and find comfort in their pain, both emotional and physical. Moments later they are back on the bike trying again.

Shortly the child is riding the bike. They never considered that they wouldn't be able to ride a bike.

Failure is a condition of giving up.

That being said. Failure is not a bad thing or something to be ashamed of. Failure is defined as falling short or lack of success.

The silver metal winner can view themselves as a failure or a champion. This is to say that failure is a view point.

In the end failure is the stand that you make. The stand of I'm a failure and I'm going to stay that way. Or. I've found another way not to do something.

I apologize for anything mistakes as I wrote this on my phone.

Learn from it, that's hoe i get over failures. Then move forward and don't get stuck.

Great people became great when they experienced failure many times. I need to fail to become one of them.

The key is to fail so often you become numb to it. After this, your not longer afraid of it. Like anything, with increased exposure comes decreased sensitivity.

How did you get over Failure?

I have still not got over it. I am still a failure. But I will come back. I am gonna comeback with a Bang.

"Dont Think How to win, Think how did I failed" this is the easiest way to get success
-Hitler
Failure gives wonderful lessons to success

I believe that a person who fail is the one That know what to do if he succeed!
a successful person is the one that know what to do if he fail!

the meaning of that is, you should have a backup if thing goes wrong. That way you don't get depress and you can start another thing strait up after.

Look for the lessons.
Apply the learning.
Take responsibility for your own failings.
Stop blaming, accusing or being in denial.
Set new goals based on your recent experience.
Think what you can offer others, and see them out.

A cup of coffee will do and a handful of peanuts. That's how i do to try and overcome failure.

Star a new project after cooling down for refresh and charge my energy.

Time heals all wounds.

I've learned to embrace them to be honest! I'm so glad I've failed hundreds of times in life already, just to get up again and improving myself and my business.

I am a very positive person, I always look on the brighter side even when things didn't work as what I have expected.

Learn from my mistakes and move on.

I never view it as failing, just as an option that didn't work. Very similar to Thomas Edison's 2000 tries.

Just recently I read an article about Henry Ford, who failed a couple times before finally having success. Not only is that a great motivator, but it made me realize that if I happen to fail at what I am doing now (which is taking a ton of work, time, and sacrifices), the next time might be the time when I finally get it right.

Failure is the funniest thing to happen for us to learn. So I just laugh at it.

This is what I always think of and put into mind.

"Our mistakes and failures doesn't define us. It is when we stand up and do the right thing that makes us successful"

If at first you don't succeed, brush it all off, and TRY again! ~

I always love to fail, this way i learn.

Everybody has to fail a few times in their life. You have to become a bit hardened, so when trouble does strike, you know what to do, and not panic.

I have failed quite a few times in my life. That is why I always keep a notebook and pens around me- to document what went wrong!

When I do succeed, memory of those failures disappear.

Everybody, especially in business needs to have a positive outlook on everything.
It is all about the mindset of an individual- that will lead to their success or failure.

I try to learn from failure, evolve my strategy accordingly and then take more action.

There's an old (or new, for all I know) saying. There is no failure, only feedback.

That does it for me.

As long as you don't give up, it's not failure, it's learning.

How do you get over it when you did fail? Just get over it lol. It's simple as that

I'll make sure not to do it again, and of course learn from it.

Have you ever watched MMA?

One of my favorite fighers was Fedor. He fought for years in Japan, and was undefeated.

Eventually, he lost; he said "He who doesn't fall doesn't stand up".

You know what Fedor knew? He knew that winning was easy; it doesn't really prove anything.

The thing that proves something, that really makes something of you is your failure.

Why do you fail? Why continue going? What's the point if you just suck?

Well, you fail, and continue, to realize what it will make of you.

Sure, you can get lucky and win, but what does "luck" really make of you? Nothing much.

But, let me ask you this; if you've failed several times, and then you win after much dedication, hard work, and study; what would that make of you?

Food for thought.

Failure will always be a part of life. As we strive for excellence either in our career, family or even in our personal life the key there will always be about being decisive. Even the fact that you don't decide is still a decision to make. Mistakes we have made are not bad decisions but rather wrong results of the decisions we chose to make.

I for one have been into different situations in life. And to start all over again from failures to failures is still a decision for you and me to make either to stand up and be back on track or to stay where you have failed and dwell in there forever.

Sleep. Wake up. Start a new day, start fresh. You'd hardly make any more mistakes and your mind would be ready to accept newer challenges.

This is a great thread!

It's good to know that we are not alone in our struggles in life (career/ personal wise)!

Life is always a battle and that makes it a good place to stay.

There is no absolute success without being able to overcome a failure. Some may be easy but some are sometimes unbearable. The only thing that makes us all going is knowing what lies ahead. You must have your eyes on the goal!

That keeps me going!
