Reflection, it is said, is a part of the learning process.
We tend to reflect less on the positive achievements and more on our failures.
It is known that "we learn from our mistakes". In particular, emotional and traumatic mistakes are etched into our neural networks. I guess the argument goes along the lines that evolution gave us this advantage to help us not repeat disastrous mistakes.
From a happy and positive minded perspective: focus on positive achievements too.

Note, though, that failures are sometimes imposed upon us by the incompetence of others.
