Let’s face it: we’ve all failed — and often quite spectacularly.
How we define “failure” is closely related to our unmet expectations: when our projected outcomes do not align with our current reality…when we judge and compare ourselves to others…when our negative self-talk plays in a demoralizing perpetual loop.
We all fall down — but we don’t have to STAY down! Let’s take this moment to refuse to dwell on our perceived “failures.”
Instead, let’s consciously focus on the lessons learned so that we can move out of negativity..and into positivity, passion, meaning, and joy.
The BAD news: Focusing on failure makes us dangerously susceptible to burnout.
The GOOD news: We have the undeniable power to make every moment in every day a brand new start! All we need to do is CHOOSE to start fresh.
In 2019, let’s remember to consciously breathe with gratitude for the good in our lives — and with each breath, commit to rewriting our future by changing the paradigms that shape our lives.
