Great article!

I don’t surround myself with many successful people but with just one – Abraham Lincoln. He is today known as the best president of America ever. But his past shows that he had met many failures and even reached the level of depression at 26yrs of age. I just think as to how would he have fought his life before being elected. A real tough job!

I have a saying I stole from somewhere which is similar to “Click A Life Coach”: “I cannot fail; I can only learn and grow”. This actually also helps me in doing things which are outside my comfort zone as it makes less afraid of “failing”

I have one rule when I fail: I always make sure I learn from it. This way you turn it into a positive. Click A Life Coach´s last blog post..Live the dream

Hi Avani – I landed on your page and thought you had the picture upside down. I agree, when things go wrong we can’t give up. Failure is a great time for us to access the situation and see what we can learn from it.

This is really great! - all three points. The "collapse all worlds" is full of thinking errors. It's simply not true that if we fail at one thing that we fail/have failed/will fail at everything. Jennifer´s last blog post..Do You Feel that is Right?

Hi Avani: I think a lot of people are guilty of overgeneralizing their problems: if their relationship breaks down they think no one will ever love them again; if they lose their job they think no one will ever hire them again; and so on. We have to be careful not to make problems bigger than they actually are. I like your idea of not “collapsing all worlds”.

I like this Avani! What NOT to do - we hear often what to do in certain situations - but not - what not to do. This is a good way of looking at it. I stay motivated by NOT listening to my inner voice of doubt (which tries to rear it's ugly head every once in a while) when I hit a roadblock. That can be my limitation - my mind - if I let it be...

Great list! Giving up and collapsing all worlds are so easy to slide into for me. Before I know it, I'm thinking I can't do anything right! BUT I have learned the discipline of keeping my mouth shut about it for a little space of time ... until the emotional tidal wave has finished it's surge and begins to recede. Then I can start evaluating the 'real' meaning behind the failure. ru4real?´s last blog post..7 Super Helpful Bible Study Tools
