A lot. But I remind myself that so many things aren't personal, and that I am not a perfect person and neither is anyone else. Sometimes we win, sometimes we lose. But it is our attitude about these things that ultimately makes us into who we are. We can choose to accept defeat and give up, or we can change and try new things and move forward. Most important thing is not to beat yourself up and feed into that feeling of failure or it grows. If you don't feed it and instead tell yourself that you are just fine and that your failure doesn't define you, that will help you.

ReplyDeleteVery true C.J. Thank you for your comments. I myself have to struggle at times to think on the more positive side then the negative. Blah. lol
DeleteIt can be hard. I have a sign in my house that says "Attitude is everything" and I need it as a daily reminder!
DeleteOh, I like it. Might have to still that and print it off in very large bold font. ;)
