Did you know that even your mistakes can teach you something?  Next time you feel you have made a mistake, ask yourself the following questions…..
 

• Did I actually fail, or did I simply fall short of unrealistically high standards?
• Where did I succeed, as well as "fail?"
• What lessons have I learned?
• Am I grateful for this experience?
• How can I turn the failure into success?
• Practically speaking, where do I go from here?
• Who else has "failed" in this way before, and how can they help me?
• How can my experience help others someday to keep from failing?
