Failure! end of the story or is it just the beginning?

Failure is hard to accept, harder to deal with, hardest to bear, but it is also an inescapable fact of life. And our ability to deal with failure has a hand in determining how successful we are.

People love judging others, they enjoy making people feel bad about what they are doing. This is why some of us step back, but we should keep in mind that, we all have to get a little messed up, before we step up. We learn from our mistakes, we have to; to grow, to stand out, we have to fail, not once but many times, before we achieve our goals. All of us have read this in many books, read inspirational quotes about it, but the question is how many of us have actually believed in it? Failure is painful, it takes away all our courage with it, the courage we have at the starting point.

To whatever religion we belong, we all believe that to tell a lie is not considered ‘okay’ in any way. So after a failure what we really do is, we deny the existence of courage at the first place.We lie to ourselves, and find comfort in knowing that it was not meant for us. And at the point when we stop fighting for what we want, we lose. This is real failure.

Often our fear of failure is rooted in our fear of being judged and losing others’ respect and esteem. We really get influenced by what others think or say about us. And if we give so much power to the opinion of others, it could lower down our passion and confidence, undermining our ability to ultimately succeed. The only way not to let failure come in our path is to start trying again as soon as we get to know about our unsuccessful attempt. Thinking and distressing our brain about our failure could last in permanent failure. Try not procrastinating attempt to succeed, once you have failed. Put your past behind you, and start over. Thomas Edison reportedly failed 10,000 times while he was inventing the light bulb. He was quoted as saying,

“I have found 10,000 ways something won’t work. I am not discouraged, because every wrong attempt discarded is another step forward.”  

 

Dear reader, failure is just like an obstacle that was placed in your way to test you, to see if you could tackle this problem appropriately, to see if you really deserve to succeed, to get what the rest could not. Failure is just the beginning of your success story, not the end.
