Most people become rigid in thinking and lose elasticity in the problem, solution, and containing domains — especially when hardened onto specific workflows and process. We are all guilty of it.

On a personal level, do not think in failures or successes. Think in learning and level gains. "Success" as per your definition is a side-effect of reaching higher and higher levels of ability. Learning ("failure") is a major path.

This is so critical, IMHO. When I truly internalized this I felt like I had unlocked some secret mode in life. I had heard it over and over but it also sounded like a way to make yourself feel better. I know better now! I wrote about this as well [1] but from a mental/physical health perspective.
