1.  If you're failing, at least you're working. You can use failure as a measure toward success. Don't be discouraged when you are told "no." For each "no" response that you get you are that much closer to a "yes." What do you do when you get a "no?"
2. If you're failing, you should be learning. View every failure as a learning opportunity. When you do get a "no" response think about what was said and what could help you do better next time. How are you learning from your failures?
 3. If you're failing, there's help for the asking. There's always room for improvement in whatever you do. Failing to achieve a goal is a great time to reach out to a friend, mentor, colleague, or coach to share that failure; ask some questions, express those fears, seek out best practices. When is the last time you reached out for help when you failed?
4. Failure can make you look good. Yes, I said it; failure can make you look good! How? Because it makes you look human. People respond to humanity. People want to help. If they see or sense your struggles or fears, they'll do the best they can to alleviate them for you ... if you reciprocate and do the same for others. When is the last time you spied a fear and took action to help someone through it?
 5. Failure creates winners. There are countless stories of people who have overcome adversity to rise above and win against all odds. What makes their stories so compelling is their persistence and perseverance ... their ability to let nothing get in their way when they have a goal in sight.
