Consider how you view failure, setback, and mistakes.
The person who I am today is a much more relaxed version of my younger self who was a perfectionist. Now I try things, learn things, but do not always manage to succeed at them. And here’s the kicker, I don’t care that I fail, have setbacks, make mistakes. I figure that as long as I enjoy the process, whatever the results may be, it was good.
