For me personally," I Embrace my failure. Only then I can overcome the disappointment associated with it".  In one of my daily practice as medical sales representative , I was going through a medical product sales deal with one of the most important and famous hospitals in Alex . I had a deal, but not as I expected which was suddenly called off. It was a terrible blow to my target sales. That was the lowest sales deal I have ever been . I had a hard time hiding my susceptibility from everyone near me, And I got good at it as the months passed. I was disappointed at first. How could I have failed? What did I miss? Where was I wrong? It took me several months to make peace with the fact that I hadn't indeed failed. I had only got a cruel and hard-earned life lesson. I understood that I had to keep myself busy, to stop my mind from wandering off to next deals., I pulled myself out. I helped my team members to overcome their failures, help them to make successful deals in difficult most resistance hospitals  so very quickly I forgot my own. I empathized with them, I taught them how to make marvelous successes from failure, and that only makes us stronger. When I became someone else's support, I overcame my own fears from failure. 

On sum, I learned that when we think we are at the top, we'll be thrown into the girth and then back up again to the top. that's it. Just embrace failure and work it on. When I truly understood that failure is indeed just a difficult lesson, I embraced it, and in no time, I overcame the disappointment associated with it, that had earlier been painful. After that, I never sank into disappointment ever again.

I personally do the following when I face disappointment or failure:

1. Take time off and sit by myself and think about what I should have done differently.

2. Visualize the situation again if it had been pleasing and nice instead of disappointing

3. Make Dzhikr (saying specific Islamic sentences multiple times)

4. Drink a nice cold glass of water

5. Take a walk outside

6. Get myself involved in something else that will give me energy and which will stabilize my mood

7. Do deep breathing exercise for at least 5 minutes

8. Record it in my journal as a learning point 

When you feel you have failed, you may be overcome with self-recrimination. If you hold painful felling, then it can have negative effects on your health, your relationships, and your future success. Take time to process your feelings. If you try to fix or move past your disappointment before knowing how you feel; you may act rashly.

Overcoming failure is all about finding it in yourself to start again. First, you must overcome the sense of failure. The failure of a project, relationship, or other goal might initially overwhelm you, but if you acknowledge your disappointment and accept your mistakes you will be able to move on. Realistic optimism will help you form a new plan without setting yourself up for failure. Each failure is a chance to grow stronger and wiser.

Accept what happened

Identify negative thought patterns

Address the cause of the failure

Set realistic goals

Practice mental contrasting

Change your approach

Try again
