Okay So this is from the Tao Te Ching ebook pg21 number 79
Failure is an opportunity.
If you blame someone else,
there is no end to the blame. Therefore the Master
fulfills her own obligations
and corrects her own mistakes.
She does what she needs to do
and demands nothing of others.
Hmmmm another individualistic quote. Basically you can view failure in many different ways. You could overanalyze what ya did and bitch about it or you can man the fuck and accept whatever that it is that you did and take responsibility for it. Hopefully it's all a learning experience. I'll use another quote from Chael Sonnen
"When doubt seeps in you got two roads you can take either road. You can
go to the left or you can go to the right and believe me, they'll tell
you failure is not an option. That is ridiculous. Failure is always an
option. Failure is the most readily available option at all times, but
it's a choice. You can choose to fail or you can choose to succeed. And
if we can plant seeds and let him know, ‘Move your feet, keep your hands
up, stay off the bottom.' That is the road to victory, or self-doubt
and negative talk, and that is the road to failure. But failure is
always there, and it's okay to recognize that. If I can leave you with
anything today, in my long journey through this is, one, it's okay. Two,
it's normal. And as athletes and especially as men, as male athletes we
hate to admit weakness to ourselves, and when you're dealing with
something and you got some kind of a hiccup, yeah, first thing is
acknowledge it."
