Feeling Like A Failure

There has likely been at least one point in your life where you have felt like a failure for one thing or another. You probably have felt like that at more than one point in time to be honest. I know I have. But feeling like a failure does not equate to being a failure. In the end, you can make all the progress in the world and still feel like you are failing at something, it is part of being human.

It is important to remember that you are not your mistakes, that you can live and learn and grow the more you do things in life. 

But also, not everything is in your control. Not everything is your fault. Sometimes life just happens and you need to just keep moving on. You can not control if the store is out of stock of an item. You can not control if there is an accident and traffic is at a standstill. You can not control if people do not want to talk to you and do not want to include you in their activities. What you can control is how you react to these situations. Whether you freak out and panic and cry and scream or if you stay cool and collected and level-headed and look on the bright side.

Today is a new day. Just keep swimming.
