“ I didn’t see it then, but it turned out that getting fired from Apple is the best thing that ever happened to me” Steve Jobs

“ It’s fine to celebrate success but it is more important to heed the lessons of failure” Bill Gates

“ Success is failure in progress” Albert Einstein

We all experience failures, it is part of life , but how do you view it, how you react to it?

Your mind can do amazing things, however, very often it is your mind that stops you from pushing towards what you really want.

The more lessons you learn from failure, the more successful and fulfilled you will become.

So what can you do to improve your mindset around this?

Believe in yourself- you will receive criticism and negative feedback, however don’t let that stop you believing what you are capable of.

Embrace learning - when you fail, don’t get despondent, don’t focus on what you have done wrong, but really seek out the learnings. What didn’t go well and what I can do differently next time?

Be courageous- when you fail, it can knock your confidence, it can paralyse you and cause you to retreat, to want to stay in your comfort zone and only try things which you are confident you can do. By being courageous and quickly trying again, you will continue to push forward despite the failure.

Failure is an inevitable part of life, however, it is our mindset around it which really determines in the long run whether we truly succeed or fail.
