FAILURE FLASHBACK!™ - I am failing a class.

We all know that no one is perfect. We all have walked an individual path to arrive where we are today in life. If you want to know how to get where you want to go, keep walking. Asking another person how they accomplished their goals is not going to give you “the answer” to how to accomplish your goals. It may help motivate you to keep working towards your goals, but you are living a unique life and your path to success is unique for you. 
We all are on our unique life paths. You are the expert on your life. 

People have shared with me that they found it illuminating and/ or motivating for me to divulge my explicit failures and how I responded. Thus, this series, FAILURE FLASHBACK!™ exists. In it, I share some of the tools and processes that I have used to face my failures, learn from them, not repeat them and keep walking forward (hopefully) towards future accomplishments. Sometimes people will say to me, “Easy for you to say…you don’t know how hard it is!” I do. I will share with you my past experiences in the hope that it prevents you from experiencing the same. 

This episode addresses my failure resulting in, “I am failing a class.”
How did it happen?
How did I respond?
What solutions did I deploy?
How do I remain vigilant today?

Is it because I am too stupid? Is it because I am a victim of a “mean” or “bad” teacher who “does not like me?” Is it because I am a genius and people are jealous so they are trying to “bring me down” with “bad grades?” Or, is it because I was unprepared, disorganized, fell behind on my work, refused to ask for help earlier in the course and because of my choices? Let’s flashback and find out!
