Make a list of the things that have gone right.

Do you need a new plan? 

Thinking about what you can’t do is worry.  Thinking about what you can do is planning. 

Should you be satisfied with what has happened so far?

What advice would you give someone else in this situation?

Focus on what you can control.  Stop worrying about what you can't control.

Failure is nature's way of teaching us how to plan.

What is your biggest challenge right now?  Treat it as a separate problem.

The difference between a trial run and a failure lies in what you get out of it.

What happened that you didn't plan for?

What is the least you can do to make things a little better?

The power of yet: I don't know how to do this yet.

Any plan that doesn't work is a trial run.

Any gate is a wall if you don't have the key.

Didn't fail if you learned how to do better next time.

If you can't make a mistake, you can't make anything.
