Like any other individual, I handle success better than failure most of the time. I try to handle success with humility, but it doesn't always happen that way. I don't become boastful or anything but sometimes I forget to give credit where credit is due. Often times I forget to glorify the Lord in ALL that I do, this is something I have constantly had to ask God to help me with. There's nothing wrong with giving myself a pat on the back and being proud of myself, but God created me and I am His image - I am not my own. Success builds up my confidence and makes me feel like I really am good for something. I handle it the best way I know how.
Failure on the other hand... I tend to come down hard on myself, probably harder than necessary most of the time. I guess I have high expectations of myself and when I don't meet up to such expectations, I become very disappointed in myself. Failure definitely humbles me, which is good. But eight out of ten times I forget that God forgives me, and I can't move on until I realize that. What I'm trying to say is that I could definitely use His help in handling both success and failure. :)
