“We learn wisdom from failure much more than from success.” ~Samuel Smiles

I often hear the clients that I work with worry about taking steps backwards. If we don’t take steps backwards, we typically don’t learn. We have to make the mistakes in order to learn from them so that we can continue to move forward. If we personalize failure, it stops us in our tracks. If we choose to look at failure just as feedback, we learn. Failure or making a mistake do not make you who you are. Make a list right now of all of your positive characteristics. I betcha making mistakes is not on the list because it is not a character trait.
