Feel like a failure?

Everyone has felt like a failure at some point in their lives. When you feel like a failure, it is important to take steps to move forward and learn from your mistakes. Working with an Online Life Coach can help you get back on your feet and work through it!

Understanding failure.

The definition of failure is unique for each person but in general, it is defined as a lack of success. Failure can happen in any aspect of your life, from professionally to your personal or family relationships. It can be something like missing an important deadline at work, losing a big game, or disappointing someone you care about.

At the end of the day, we’ve all made mistakes, big or small, that make us feel like a failure. It is especially difficult when you have tried your hardest to do something important and did not succeed. When you feel like a failure your confidence may be shaken, and you may worry that your failures will prove your worst fears. It is a terrible feeling!

Learning from failure.

Before you can move forward, you need to give yourself the time to feel what you need to feel so that you can get the negative emotions out of your system. This will give you the chance to regroup and prepare to try again or move on to the next task or goal. While it is okay to be upset and feel down, do not let the failure become part of your identity – a failed attempt does not make you a failure. 

Once you have let your emotions out, it is important to remember that failure is part of the learning experience. Think of it as a powerful educational experience that was concentrated into a small moment in time. As famously said by Thomas Edison, failure is an opportunity to learn “a thousand ways not to make a lightbulb”.
