How has a failure, or apparent failure, set you up for later success?
OK. I was not the best at my old job. I did work hard, but it was a dead end job.
They let me go. Yes!!!!!
It was the best thing that ever happened to me.
I went back to school to change my profession.
Now, I have a good career.
I love my job, and I am good at it too.
I thank God for it daily, and I will never look back.
How has a failure, or apparent failure, set you up for later success?
It hurts at the beginning when I fail. I get upset. I get angry with myself and with others connected to the problem. Suspicion runs high. I feel the need to talk it out to maybe even justify my actions.
Then I take a step back and realise this can work for me if I see it in a new light.
It is a setback, but it can in the future be a setup for my good if I learn from it.
It does not define me. I am not a failure, but I am human, and things happen.
