"Two Tiny Changes": 5 'failure' pick me up tips

Yesterday, the theme for this week's tiny inspiring signs was about failure. Today, I thought it would be a fantastic opportunity to offer tips on ways to pick yourself up during those times when you feel like a failure.Your Inner Resistance Monster  just thrives on those "failure" periods as a way to keep you in the smallness of your comfort zone. We want you to achieve your goals and dreams, so here's 5 tiny tips to help you on your way.
  • You may feel like there is a huge letter L tattooed on your head for "Loser" but I can assure you that it's only imaginary .The only person who can see that Loser L is you because you put it there via your own harsh judgment of yourself or because someone called you a Loser and you agreed with them. As easily as you put that Loser L on your head, you can easily throw it away. You control how you feel about yourself, no one else does.
  • The failure feeling is blown up because you are focused on only a small part of the picture where yes relative to size, your mistake or inability to achieve something seems huge. Step back and now take a 10,000ft view of your journey and you will see that this mistake is really only a blip in the big picture. In fact, that blip which you label "failure" could actually be the major stepping stone to moving you out of the wrong direction and into the right one.

    It is better to give the same treatment for those who are going to trample you down as a looser. I just make, 10 folds of comments against this kind of winners.Then they are convinced that they are also in the same position.
