Life is a continuous cycle of successes and lessons.
The most resilient individuals know that winning is just one part of the journey; learning is equally important.
Not that we ever 'won' events but we considered ourselves competitive. Recently, having got back into the groove of entering 'races' we are clearly not going to trouble the leaders.
But our perspective has changed - the focus is more about enjoying the experience together; both the event but also the time away and the chance to explore a different part of the country.
Consider the times you’ve faced setbacks- in our case, a change in perspective.
Each “failure” (we crossed the line when the awards were being handed out!), has likely taught you something valuable — how to handle pressure, communicate better, or make smarter decisions.
These lessons are the building blocks of personal and professional growth.
On Reflection...
Instead of dwelling on mistakes, ask:
- What did I learn?
- How can this experience shape my next step?
This mindset reduces fear, encourages experimentation, and fosters continuous improvement.
Even small reflections have compounding effects over time.
How This Links To Our Wellbeing?
Acknowledging lessons strengthens emotional wellbeing.
By accepting mistakes as part of growth, you build resilience, self-awareness, and confidence — reducing stress and self-criticism.
