If you are distressed by anything external, the pain is not due to the thing itself, but to your estimate of it; and this you have the power to revoke at any moment.
Marcus Aurelius

Your mind has a funny way of tricking you. It can play all sorts of games and can really distort reality.

When something is bothering you try to remember that the feelings you experience are not from the situation, but instead how you perceive the situation. You are responsible for how you feel. You have the power to change by simply changing the way you think.

Do not be too timid and squeamish about your reactions. All life is an experiment. The more experiments you make the better.
Ralph Waldo Emerson

Do not fear failure, instead try to see it as life’s way of helping you grow. The more you fail the better you will become at whatever it is you are trying to accomplish.

Michael Jordan, one of the best Basketball players of all time once said
I’ve missed more than 9,000 shots in my career.
I’ve lost almost 300 games.
26 times, I’ve been trusted to take the game winning shot and missed.
I’ve failed over and over and over again in my life.
And that is why I succeed.â€

Instead of worrying about every missed shot or considering it as failing to make the shot, he simply picked up the ball and shot again. By changing his view on failure, he became a success.
