Optimists see failures as leaning experiences, as challenges to modify their approach. Pessimists take failures personally, interpreting them as evidence of some deep-seeted charator flaw. Because thier identity is so closely tied to the problem, they feel overwhelmed. After all, how can they change their entire lives in one stroke?

Avoid this belief of the problem being ” personal” at all costs, Begin to use problems as valuable feedback to help steer you a straighter course toward your destiny, and be grateful for these gifts.

I do tend to get personal about my failures. I’m going to try stop this.
