You Can’t Personalize Failure

You can't be overly concerned and make everything personal when it comes to your failures. They are just part of what it takes to be successful. You have to be willing to find out that something did not work without personalizing it and being concerned about the judgment of others. Judge yourself according to your value system in a way that isn’t discouraging and leads toward correction. That’s what failure is. It’s just a way of correcting yourself so that you are closer to success. Give yourself full permission to work hard and try new things, be the very best that you can be, and enjoy this journey. You'll have a hell of a lot better time along the way.
