How you handle failures and move ahead

Hey Yash, thank you. I believe it's all because we call them as "failures". Our cognitive interpretation of concepts are based on the affiliations we link them with. In this case, I believe a healthier way to look at this would be to not treat them as a "loss", but rather a gain. Success is also a very broad term in this regard, and it is different for all of us. For me I have milestones but success itself is like a 1 limit that I can only get closer and closer, but never be there. That is what motivates me, and I love the climb more than the view above. Success takes a few seconds to enjoy, it's like a climax of our emotions, yet the climb lasts forever. Because for me, I always set new goals and add more to my vision, that is empowering people to be themselves and achieve anything that they set their minds to. Does it end? No way! I always discover new angles, better, more powerful ways of looking at it and have constant back and forths with my team. Though understand the perception of "failure" is certainly frustrating. Perhaps this may offer a different perspective 💙 https://www.linkedin.com/pulse/c... Best of luck! 🚀

the best way to move forward is take massive action to overcome guilt(guilt is highest form of ego and time waster) or feel sorry for oneself and focus on what you can control, what is next step you can take, maybe a new product idea, finding a new partner?

The first failures were devastating to me personally, through my journey I realized that some of them were inevitable and paved the way into what we are now! So my point is, embrace every failure with a smile, admit the failure, and keep moving forward!

There is no failures, those are only the mistake you learn from.

I just take a nap, only to wake up knowing I will fail again.

When faced with failure, I take a moment to reflect on what went wrong and how I can improve. I try to focus on the lessons learned rather than dwelling on the negative. Then, I create a plan of action to move forward and make necessary changes. It’s important to stay resilient and maintain a positive mindset. Whether it’s seeking advice from a mentor or finding new resources, I remain committed to pushing through obstacles and striving for success. Failure is a natural part of growth and development, and it’s important to embrace it as an opportunity for growth.

Just go ahead and don't worry about what others think about you

Everyone fails. Failure isn't the opposite of success, it's an essential part of it. Behind every successful story, there are a lot of failures. https://twitter.com/notion4acade...

Why did the scarecrow win an award for handling failure? Because he was outstanding in his field! In all seriousness though, handling failure can be tough, but it's important to remember that everyone experiences setbacks at some point. One way to move forward is to reflect on what went wrong and use that information to make improvements going forward. It's also important to stay positive and maintain a growth mindset, recognizing that failure is a natural part of the learning process and an opportunity to grow and improve. And of course, a good sense of humor never hurts!

Maintain a positive attitude and focus on the future instead of dwelling on the past.

Take responsibility for the failure and don't blame others for it.

Taking a punch in life sucks, and it's ok to feel like shit immediately after. I think one thing that many people forget is that negative emotions are important too, and can't simply be willed away. So give yourself some time to get out of the muck - that's one. I think another important thing to realise is that failure comes in many forms. Are you failing forward, towards some goal of yours? Or are you just failing on the spot. If you are failing forward, it's important to reframe what happened - because scientifically, our minds are wired to ALWAYS go for the negative explanation first. Sorry for whatever you're going through, and I hope things improve from here!
