Don’t Be too Hard on Yourself

                               Don’t Be too Hard on Yourself

Thomas Edison said “I failed my way to success.” The truth is, it will take many attempts to succeed. You are going to fail, hit barriers and have several hiccups. But don’t let this get you down permanently. When you fail at a task, take the situation as a learning lesson, forgive yourself and move on. If your spouse failed, if your friend failed, if your child failed at something that they tried hard on, how would you react? In order to encourage the child or loved one to keep fighting for their dream, you probably would not yell at them, hate them or just be negative all the time to them, so then don’t do that to yourself if you don’t win at something right away. Forgive yourself for hiccups. Change the route to your goal or revamp your direction altogether. But one thing is for sure, don’t just give up and don’t beat yourself up.

For reflection: What is one thing that you beat yourself up over that you could forgive yourself for and try again?
