Getting Back Up Is Very Important - It's Not Failure, It's Feedback!
"Failure should be our teacher, not our undertaker. Failure is delay, not defeat. It is a temporary detour, not a dead-end street." William A. Ward
Hey, I know it's just me, but I almost NEVER feel I've failed: to fail is generally not to attempt something - THAT would be the failure.
But when we work at something that doesn't come out the way we dreamed it would be, that's not failure!
I've done too many different things in my life and have learned from each of them.
I don't regret selling $247,368,657.97 and helping others through my marketing to sell over $1 billion. But I moved on from some of those activities.
I don't regret running a website to help area theaters... they STILL need the help as they drift along on their oceans of uncertainty... but I moved on.
I don't regret hours and hours of directing theater - musicals mostly - because I learned, the audiences really had a great time, and I loved the camaraderie. And in MY family, we have done theater for 5 generations here in the USA (and more if you consider our relatives from Europe).
And I don't regret working with young people, consulting with major companies, giving advice to institutions which can use my marketing expertise.
So my suggestion: change your attitude or change what you're doing.
Where did the dream go? It's changed, that's for sure... so change your dream to match your present reality.
And never consider yourself a failure.
Best,
