Most highly successful people work through some catastrophic failures and setbacks before they achieve lasting success.

If they were to give up at the first hint of a setback, they would never get anywhere noteworthy.

By giving myself permission to join their ranks, I can relax a little and work harder.

Tell myself:

Whatever happens, I will survive.

I will find a way to carry on, and this will not be the end of the world for me.

If the worst case scenario actually eventuates, I will work to find a way to lessen the pain and move on.
