Winners never give up - they find the light at the end of the tunnel. Never dwell in the past, what’s done is done. However, that does not mean that you cannot use past experiences and crucial lessons to guide your present and your future. Failing once can lead to a lifetime of successes - just avoid making the same mistakes! Draw lessons from your past defeats. Use these experiences to guide your decision making, evaluate each situation and get through the tough times.
Similarly, you can draw on the confidence of past victories. If you did it before, you can do it again. When you need positivity, think back to a good outcome from a time in your past. This creates a warm and nostalgic feeling that can drive you towards further successes.
Remember, there is always a solution at the end of the road. Some are harder to find than others, but as long as you remain focused on finding solutions, you will overcome any challenge in front of you.
A pessimist allows their future to be limited by constraints they place upon themselves. They limit their own potential. While, an optimist will shoot for the stars and continue to climb even if they fall back a little. In other words, an optimist will get the job done!
