Sometimes I have these ideas but have difficulty describing them to others. So, when I overheard someone mention the phrase "No failure, only feedback" during a discussion of neuro-linguistic programming (NLP) it seemed like an excellent description of one of my beliefs.

At the end of the day I am never going to achieve perfection (I've learnt that it is not a very healthy goal) and if I focus on doing the best I can, accept that I'm not always going to get it right, that I can't control or preempt everything then I don't have to feel like a failure or feel like I have somehow failed and instead I can continue to focus on my goal and use the mistakes, errors or unexpected outcomes as lessons learnt. OR simply put "No failure, only feedback".
