• Take some time and space to let loose those raw emotions, or

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.
• 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.
