Have you ever tried keeping the negative emotions to condition your brain? How did it work?
The closest I've come to this is with fear, which has once or twice in my life scared me so much that I never rested until I had achieved my goals. And it was a good motivator. However, on whether this is the best way, I have doubts, and it is certainly not a method I usually choose to use. |
Failure is your perception which is thus ran by the mind. If you realised you had the ability to change this reaction...you would thus probably choose to see failure as a learning experience and use it to grow. As steve said, "You never stop growing..it continues all throughout your life."
