Try To Figure Out What Makes You Happy

Be Grateful
Before the weight of failure wears you down, make a list of everything and everyone for whom you are grateful for in life. This may include your family, your pet, your best friend, that new gym membership, and more etc.
Make Sure You Learn From Your Trials
Failure is only failure if you don’t learn from it. You actually learn more from failure than you do from success.
Evaluate the mistake, figure out if it was an execution issue and get different people involved. The key is to determine the cause of failure. – Joselin Mane, LITBeL Consulting, LLC
