You’ve Got Two Options When Dealing with Setbacks
So it’s best to stop beating yourself up.
Failures are insanely important in life. If you haven’t failed at something, you’re missing out.
Failures are indicators and if you know how to properly interpret them instead of throwing your hands up and wailing to the gods in search of answers as to why you’re so failure-prone, you can without a doubt begin living a significantly better life.
Because we all want to live better. And failures show us how.

If you’re confident in yourself, meaning failures don’t equate to endless negative chatter about how you’re no good, you’re not talented enough, or gifted, or smart — if you can ignore any BS talk like that, then failures are your friends.
