How Self-Compassion Changes the Way We Experience Failure

Part of living means we will make mistakes and drop the ball from time to time. Things won't work out as planned, and we will come up short on something we worked really hard for. Sometimes we prepare as well as we can, give something everything we have, and still do not get the result we were hoping for. Perhaps the interview doesn't land, the project we poured ourselves into falls flat, or we lose a job because our position is eliminated. Or maybe we miss a deadline or snap at someone we care deeply about after a long day.
