Have you ever fail in your life ?
Life is a full journey to the end of your destination. Nobody knows what will happen in our life in future. We can be a good planner but at the end only Allah (the one and only God) knows the best thing for us.
1. Stop complaining.
2. Take responsibility.
3. Forgive yourself.
4. Celebrate the failure.
5. Debrief yourself.
Stand back from the situation and ask yourself these questions:
6. Recommit yourself.
7. Create a new plan.
8. Reality-check your plan.
9. Execute the plan.
Take massive action to create momentum. Whenever anything reminds you of your epic fail, use that emotional energy to drive you forward.

Just in case your life is not as good as your imagine, please don't give it up. You can still recover even it will take longer time to re-shape you as much better person.
Hopefully this list will guide you during your recovering phase in your life:
1. Stop complaining.
Yes, your efforts didn't get the result you wanted. Yes, it's a disappointment. However, every second you spend complaining about the situation is only setting your failure into concrete. Vent once or twice, then suck it up.
2. Take responsibility.
Your epic fail wasn't because of the market, competition, customer, economy, or anything else that was out of your control. You failed because you weren't smart enough to adapt to circumstances. Period.
If you start blaming things that are outside your control for your failure, you're handing your future destiny over to "luck" and the uncontrollable. Accept responsibility. You screwed up. Live with it.
3. Forgive yourself.
It's only after you've taken full responsibility for your epic fail that you can afford to give yourself some slack. As long as you remember that there's no such thing as an "A for effort," it's fine to take pride in the fact that you did your best. Assuming you did, of course.
4. Celebrate the failure.
This is the most difficult part, but probably the most important. Consider: It's impossible to have an epic fail if you're not attempting something epic. You were dreaming big--epic big--and that's more than 99 percent of the people in this world ever do.
Yeah, it would have been great if you'd won, but the real loser isn't the one who plays and fails, it's the person who never dares to play at all. So celebrate already.
5. Debrief yourself.
Stand back from the situation and ask yourself these questions:
- What did I do that worked?
- What did I do that didn't work?
- What could/should I have done differently?
- What did I miss completely?
Since this is an epic fail, you should plan on spending at least a week (with few distractions) really thinking about these questions and coming up with written, detailed answers.
6. Recommit yourself.
Now it's time to put the failure behind you. It happened and you've learned what you can from it. The only question now is: Can you summon the emotional strength to move forward and try again?
Be honest with yourself. If the answer is no, you're done with that goal. Let it go. Find something else to do that really gets you motivated.
If the answer is yes, then continue to treat success as a must. Recommit yourself to do whatever it takes (within legal and ethical bounds) to achieve an epic success.
7. Create a new plan.
Based on what you've learned from the epic fail, create a plan of action that will lead you toward your goal. If you've truly recommitted yourself, creating this plan will get you energized and excited.
However, if you feel any "oh God, not again" dread and the plan isn't motivating you, you haven't really done the previous step. Go back to step 6 and really decide. It has to be 100 percent commitment or it's not worth bothering.
8. Reality-check your plan.
Now that you've got the plan, run it by somebody whom you trust and who has experience achieving this kind of goal. For example, if you're making another run at starting your own business, get a local entrepreneur to critique your new business plan.
9. Execute the plan.
Take massive action to create momentum. Whenever anything reminds you of your epic fail, use that emotional energy to drive you forward.
