Failure shouldn't be what defines you, you should be what defines you.

Failure should be seen as the motivation to do better next time. Failure should never stop you from following your dreams. Everyone fails or makes mistakes at some point, but you have to learn from your mistakes to be better. Think about the music you listen to. All those musicians probably went through a period of time where they didn't think they were good enough because they made mistakes and failed something. But look where they are now. They achieved their dreams. Think about doctors or nurses. They have to work so hard to get where they are, and they have to work really hard everyday. Not everyone can deal with the things they see and go through everyday. But that's what makes them special and important. But in high school or college, they might have failed an anatomy test or chemistry test and thought they couldn't do it or they used it as the motivation to try harder. Think about an artist. They work really hard to fine tune their drawings or paintings. They make sure every line is perfect. There were probably times where their picture didn't come out right or it didn't go into the school art showcase and it made them feel like it wasn't good enough. They can either let that ruin them or try harder on the next picture. Think about all the athletes that you look up to. They worked so hard getting into shape and working on their skills. If they had a bad game, they wouldn't let it get to them. They'd try harder next game. The point is, you shouldn't let failure define you. You should let it encourage you to do better, push yourself to your limits and see what you can do. Failure isn't who you are. It's a part of life, but you can always turn it around.
