Having faith in a higher power can help you keep your head on straight when you’re experiencing a difficult time. If you need to find your faith again, try to look for signs from the universe. You may be surprised by what you find.

Have faith that everything happens for a reason

If you didn’t get hired for a job, don’t blame the hiring manager. Instead, figure out what you could have done better. How could you have prepared differently? What could you have done to stand out from the crowd?

Take responsibility—and use it as motivation to do better next time

What was that one thing that made you want to achieve this goal? When you find that thing again—that motivation—you’ll feel that fire again, and it’ll be easier to stay motivated after a failure.

Remember why you started

Acknowledge how far you have come. Even if you’re only two steps into a forty-step journey, you’ve made progress.

Recognize your effort and progress
