I’ve got a list of past failures. Given that I fail often, it’s a long one.
What are you keeping track of? The number of times you’ve failed, guessed wrong, invested in the wrong stock, passed on pursuing an invention?
Much more productive – and I’m working on this myself – to keep track of our successes.
Sure, learn from the failures and the paths not taken, but why hold onto them. Better to remind ourselves of when we were right, what worked, when we took risks and turned out to succeed by doing so.
It’s a tough list to make, but worth the investment of attention.
Stay Positive & Focusing On The Good Attracts More Good
