* Another important piece of this conversation is self-compassion. Research by Kristin Neff shows that treating ourselves with kindness after failure does not reduce motivation. In fact, it improves it.
* Psychologist Carol Dweck has spent decades studying what she calls a "growth mindset." Her research shows that people who believe abilities can be developed.
* In studies of students and adults, those with a growth mindset demonstrated greater persistence, improved performance over time, and stronger resilience after making mistakes. In other words, embracing failure as part of the learning process actually improves outcomes
