You did everything right

You did everything right, but:

The weather didn't cooperate
The customer had a personal issue and couldn't buy it
The employee had an issue that was beyond your control
You were given inaccurate information
The boss got fired and now there is no agreement

So often we face undesirable situations and beat ourselves up for them. Sometimes we should kick ourselves.

But sometimes we did the right things and it didn't work out. No need to kick ourselves, just be gracious, re-load the focus, and move on.
