In order to bring positive change into your life, you have to focus your attention on what you enjoy. Failures are part of our lives but these should not be the main focus of our existence. If we allow ourselves to be consumed by disappointment, we will find it hard to bounce back. It's good to go through the whole spectrum of emotions but at one point, we have to pick up the pieces again and move on. This is a very inspiring post, Michele.

Sometimes I have to wait, catch a breath, whatever, before I can bounce back. The key is not to wait too long, or you end up wallowing in self-pity, or get into an idle groove, which can be hard to pull out of.
