Cultivate an Attitude of Gratitude.
Even in the midst of an experience that feels like failure, you are learning,
growing and expanding. If you look past the initial disappointment, you will find
valuable ways in which you have grown. Perhaps the situation taught you the value
of patience, or of surrendering to a Higher Power. Give thanks for what you have
learned. When you can give thanks for the lessons learned or the qualities
developed during the very times you struggled for survival, you will find the
freedom to move forward.

Find the gift in the experience. The Universe is made up of energy, and energy can
never be destroyed; it simply changes form. It means that when one door closes,
another is bound to open! Perhaps the "failed" relationship is offering you the
opportunity to attract a relationship that is more honoring to your being. If you
have just been laid off work, the gift could be the opportunity to find work that is
more appropriately aligned to your values.

Focus on what you want more of. It is your perception of failure that empowers it,
because whatever you choose to focus on, you energize. Instead of focusing on
failure, why not focus on the success you aspire to instead? By focusing on the
desired outcome, you will find it easier to discover the action steps that lead to
it.

Every experience we term 'failure' holds a core of liberating truth within. The next
time you feel as if you have somehow failed, review these truths and you will see
why you do not need to fear failure!

There is no such thing as failure. The Course in Miracles teaches that there is no
such thing as failure; there are only learning lessons. Failure implies a fixed
state of affairs that invites judgment and suffering. In reality, everything in the
world is a work in progress. Even when it feels like the force of life might crush
you, these trying moments form part of a broader spectrum that can help you discover
your true strength.

You can always start over again. You can start over in any area of your life, at any
time. You have been endowed with the power of free choice. When you choose to drive
down one street and find it clogged with traffic, you can choose to go down another
road. Life is no different! If one choice seems to lead you down a dead-end, you can
choose again.

All judgments are self-judgments. When you see yourself as a failure, you are
standing in judgment over yourself. Instead of judging whether your effort is
successful or not, focus on what you have learned from the experience. Then, look
for ways you can apply what you have learned to make your next step more meaningful.

Forgive yourself. The Greek philosopher Socrates taught that each individual chooses
only the good, based on their understanding of that good. Ask yourself whether you
did your best with what you knew at the time. If you can answer 'yes,' forgive
yourself for any self-judgment. If you did not act in the most responsible manner,
decide what changes you need to make to remedy the situation, and then forgive
yourself, resolving to apply the changes needed to move forward.

Give up the label. The pain of thinking of yourself as a failure can exist only for
as long as you cling to it. Instead of looking at the circumstance in simplistic
terms as success or failure, look at the situation from a broader perspective. You
will find that there was a silver lining to even the darkest cloud. Once you can
observe the experience from a larger viewpoint, you can let go of the limiting label
of failure.

Focus on what you want more of. It is your perception of failure that empowers it,
because whatever you choose to focus on, you energize. Instead of focusing on
failure, why not focus on the success you aspire to instead? By focusing on the
desired outcome, you will find it easier to discover the action steps that lead to
it.

Nice post

There are no failures in life just learning experiences. There is good in every life situation.

When life seems bad find someone who seems to have it a little worse off than you do. Help them and your life will improve.
