You may have failed, but you’re not a failure.
I’ve had situations occur in my lifetime where I felt as though because something didn’t go as planned, I was a failure. Thinking this way seeped into every aspect of my day to day.
Anything that didn’t pan out in my #favor, I attributed it to me being a failure, even the things that I wasn’t responsible for.
Soon I began to believe that I could not do anything right. When the things I did do turned out to be a success, I somehow made it into a big fail. For example, I sold out a 500-person event, but it was a failure because I should have found a venue to accommodate 1,500 and sold that out.
I was constantly beating myself up.
One day decided to look up the #definition of failure. I read that it meant a lack of success. I then sat down and took an inventory of my past achievements and deemed that I was not a failure because I’ve had quite a few wins.
Whatever I may have failed at didn’t justify me attaching the label of #failure to my #brand.
