What do you say to yourself when you fail?

Today is the question of how one handles failure. Everyone will at some point fail in life whether it be in business or other areas of life. How you handle it is a completely other story.

When failure comes and knocks on the door, do you run away from, face it and let it go, or get beaten up by it. Stay optmistic and do not let this failure spread into other areas of you life and ruin that as well. In the true story of Rudy, he tries so hard to get into Notre Dame and when he finally does, he quits the football team because he believes he cannot do it. Had he failed to realize that quitting because he failed once or twice was a big mistake, he would have become a janitor of some sorts. instead, he gets boosted back onto his feet by a friend and succeeds on the team.

Now when it come to dealing with failure there are 3 key steps you should take to help.

     1.Tell yourself the truth- This means to give yourself the truth and not some kind or sugar-coated explanation. It also does not mean to make it a big deal and into such a big failure.

     2. Put it in context- Put your problem down into a simple format. Then assess it with a stable mind and try to find a solution to your failue. Do not forget that learning comes from failure so take advantage of your failure.

     3. Remember the BIG PICTURE- Never forget that one little failure is only a small portion of your life. Remember life goes on with or without you; don't spend it in the gutter.

In conclusion, do not let a failure cripple you and take up all of you life. The world is big and you have lots of time to fix or move on and succeed elsewhere in your life.
