There is no fear, only feedback
This is a very powerful assumption to live your life by. Everyone makes mistakes and experiences setbacks.
You have a choice between allowing yourself to be waylaid by your undesirable results or learning the lessons that have presented themselves, dust yourself off and have another shot at jumping the hurdle.
We can judge results we don't like either as "failure" or as "feedback"- information that allows us to correct our course.
Learn to judge your results
If you become accustomed to thinking of yourself as a failure, you are setting up a vicious circle that can be hard to break. If, however, you take all your results - positive or negative - as feedback, you are setting up a progressive chain of events that you can learn from.
When you’re faced with ‘failure’, you can use the following questions to find opportunities for growth:
- What am I aiming to achieve?
- What have I achieved so far?
- What feedback have I had?
- What lessons have I learned?
- How can I put the lessons to positive use?
- How will I measure my success?
- Then pick yourself up and have another go!
If what you are doing is not working, do something different.
