3. Don’t dwell on the past
Specifically, don’t dwell on past failures. Even though it’s been said many times over by wise people that we learn best from our failures, that doesn’t mean that we should spend a lot of time reflecting on how terrible we are for failing. Success comes from being able to recover from failure and rising up to try again. Most things that are worth doing will be accompanied by the risk of failure. Recovering from those failures and dwelling on them makes it a lot harder to get up, dust yourself off and try again.
