You might have failed at most things but I'm sure you've also succeeded at plenty! Give yourself credit! I honestly believe that mental resilience is something you can learn and build upon. And the more I think about it, the more it's about the courage to take that first step. What I did was to self-reflect quite a bit. Both on what I've achieved and what I've not. Then I started to paint a vision for who I'd like to be and what skills would I need to get me there. Then I started to do activities that would make me feel uncomfortable. As a quiet person, I pushed myself to speak at presentations, cold calls, etc. The key is to start small but have a goal in mind. I'm also part of a Buddhist group where we chant and study material. The material helps because it's focused on self-empowerment and taking responsibility for whatever situation I'm in. Each and every one of us has the same tremendous amount of potential to succeed. What's limiting us is our mind and viewpoint.
