Ask HN: How to overcome failure?
You put your heart and soul into a project, but then it fails. How does one overcome the fear (or whatever you want to call it) of failing again?
But the answer is balls (or courage/bravery/confidence). I fail at stuff every day. If I let it affect my mood I'd be pretty F-ing depressing to be around. I don't want to be depressing to be around.
The one thing you have complete control over and costs you absolutely nothing is your attitude. So grow up, stomach your losses, and move on to the next project.
So you failed. Big deal. You still have a roof, clothes, and food. Time to get past it and keep moving.
I can't remember who said this, but I am going to do a hell of a paraphrasing job.... If you live periods of your life in misery, when you remember back to those times, all you'll remember is the misery. The misery robs you of great memories you could otherwise be making.
