Past criticisms might still be weighing on you, but this could actually help you be more successful at what you’ve got going on right now. You’ll end up exercising more caution as a result of worrying about messing something up. If you’re able to learn from past mistakes and utilize constructive criticism without becoming overwhelmed or bitter about not having met expectations, you’ll be much more successful in this endeavor. Be grateful that not only do you have an opportunity to prove yourself again, but also that you are self-aware enough to try and improve.
