The failure-type personality has its symptoms. We need to be able to recognize these failure symptoms in ourselves to correct them. When we learn to recognize those habits as signs of failure, these symptoms then act automatically as "negative feedback," and help guide us down the road to success. However, we not only need to become "aware" of them. We need to recognize them as things which we do not want, and convince ourselves deeply and sincerely that these things do not bring success and happiness. No one is immune to these negative feelings and attitudes. Even the most successful personalities experience them at times. The important thing is to recognize them for what they are, and take positive action to correct course.
