When something goes wrong and it catches you by surprise, it’s easy to feel upset or disappointed with yourself.
But dropping the ball can actually be a good thing.
It’s a valuable signal to reflect on how you’re actually going with life.
Rather than feeling like you need to try harder or resolve that you’ll do better next time, use the moment to really consider if your commitments are exceeding your capacity.
You may determine that it was a once-off and you’re in a good place.
Or you may be thankful that it happened now so you can prevent things from getting further away from you.
