What comforts you when you go through failure?

August 29, 2017 2:16pm CST
We all face situations where we get a disappointing outcome. We were hoping for one thing, but got something else. Something didn't go quite right and we failed to accomplish our goal. So when these events occur in your life, what has been the most effective way, for you, to deal with such occasions?

It happens, right? I am very optimistic and always find the silver lining to any dark cloud.

That's a great attitude to have. Yeah, I guess it's important to accept that these things happen. Acceptance is the first step towards resolving a problem, in a way. Then once you've done that, you can look at the bright side of the problem. Maybe it's revealed to you something about yourself that you can work on or you can adapt to the new situation and make something great out of it (that you wouldn't have thought of if you didn't encounter this problem). Thanks for the input. Appreciate it. :)

Well, Its never a good thing to just quit. But it takes time to rethink the solution and try and try again and again then if all else fails get help from someone who knows a bit more about the situation that is causing the problems that you can not solve with all efforts possible.

I just found a site that might be helpful.
Failure is inevitable in life, but how we overcome challenges and use them to our advantage is what matters.

Thanks for the tips, Anthony. Great advice. Yeah, I guess perseverance is important. Sometimes you have to go through a bunch of failures to finally hit gold. And sometimes it may just be that you're not approaching the problem from the right angle, so you gotta have a go at it again from a different side. And yeah, getting help is another good piece of advice. Sometimes you just gotta suck in your ego and admit that you're in over your head and get help from someone who has more experience or knowledge than you. Can help you have a better experience yourself. Thanks for your inputs. Helpful ^_^

@InquisitiveMind , You are very much on point. Good comment back and I liked reading your point of view. You have a good sense of direction and will do well with this kind of sound reasoning.
