• LIFE.
Embrace your mistake. Don't try to hide it.

• Remember that mistakes are fundamentally part of the human

condition

• Many of the most successful people throughout history had

significant failures as well as great accomplishments -- from
Thomas Edison and Albert Einstein to Oprah Winfrey and
Steve Jobs.

REALIZE IT'S OK TO GET UPSET.

• Whether you've hit rock bottom or are facing a series of
obstacles, it's hard not to get frustrated or upset.

• Instead of trying to push aside your anger, anxiety or resentment,

find ways to release the tension.

• Take some time and space to let loose those raw emotions, or
they'll never begin to dissipate. Then, move forward.
 REFLECT ON THE LESSONS
• You need to be brutally honest with yourself. What happened? Where
did you go wrong and why? Learn from your failure in order to avoid
an even bigger problem: repeating the same mistake.

• Here are three powerful questions to ask in the wake of a failure:

• What lessons did I learn from this situation?
• What are three positive outcomes of this situation?
• How has this experience allowed me to grow as a person?
OWN YOUR MISTAKE
• If you've been honest about your misstep and
learned from the experience, it's still
critically important to take ownership of the
situation.

• Taking responsibility for your mistake is key

to showing others you are an accountable
individual who lives with integrity. This will
enable you to regain support as you try
again.
 REDEFINE WHAT FAILURE MEANS TO
YOU.
• Re-approach a negative outlook by considering how this failure
is part of a bigger life lesson or a valuable experience you
couldn't have gained otherwise.

• Failure teaches you that a certain approach may not be ideal for
a specific situation but there may be better approaches to
consider.

• Each time you fail, your fear of failure diminishes and this allows
you to take on even bigger challenges.

• No matter how often you fail, you are not a failure as long as you
don't give up.

TAKE ACTION AND MOVE ON.

• Biggest test - See if you can rebound from your failure.

• What solutions do you have to rectify the problem?

• How can you offset the situation to avoid (or lessen) harm to others?

• Deal with your mistake head on, and then advance to the next thing.

• Remember your hard-learned lessons as you keep moving forward, and

you'll emerge stronger and more resilient than before.
