Revisiting our failures

We repeatedly revisit past failures no matter how small.

“I missed winning the contest by that much.”

“Our team could have won if I had just gotten a few more yards.”

“I would have sealed that business deal if I had just walked to the plane a little faster.”

But we rarely revisit our past minor successes.

“Because I took two more steps we won the Super Bowl.”

“Because I put in five more minutes my start-up closed the funding round.”

Forget that you lost.

Remember that you won.
