In this video, I explain some theories about how you can overcome failure, fix it or get over it. Whether you are a singer, a performer, a leader or an entrepreneur, you will discover how we all share the same paths.
Life is all about experiences and learning how to grow. Everything you go through is a lesson for future reference, and everything you learn will be used at some point in your life.
It’s in your mind
They say that success is mostly mental, so is failure. First thing you need to acknowledge is the mental aspect of things, you will quickly realize that failure is not something that is tangible, but mostly something that you feel as an individual. If you can’t see it, might as well forget about it and move on with your mission.
Failure VS Challenges
Failure could be temporary and does not jeopardize the overall mission. It could simply mean you need more time to build yourself. Challenges are not failures but weaknesses in areas where you lack experience and knowledge, so keep learning and don’t give up too quickly.
See the big picture instead of focusing on one small detail. Focus on the main objective and you will overcome the difficulties you are facing. If you are having trouble singing a specific song, you don’t have to quit singing, it simply means you need more practicing.
Take a Break
Take a break and start over, start fresh so that you can see things from a different angle, this is when the mental kicks in. This helps clear your mind and your body in order to digest what you have been working on.
Change your mission or perspective
When everything fails and you are convinced you will never go beyond what you’ve accomplished, change your mission, or, change the goal of the mission. Sometimes, a change of perspective is all it takes for you to overcome this so-called failure.
What did you learn?
What is the lesson of this failure? Understanding why you failed will help you overcome the trauma you have experienced. But also, this will help you avoid the same mistakes in the future and know how to face challenges. Experience and practice is what teaches us and help us grow.
