So many people consider success as being deserving
but never tagged failure desirous. Isn’t that partial? Amen! Failure is not my
portion! Even a loafer will exert all his energy to reject failure. And some
people also went further, I remain oblivious of how they come up with the
saying “failure is not an option”. Really? If it is indeed not an option,
definitely, success should not have an opposite.
It’s not incredible that some people have ended up
so woefully not even because of failure but rather, its fear. Paul Coelhlo
says, “there is only one thing that
makes a dream impossible to achieve the fear of failure.” Throngs of people
have become physically, emotionally, mentally and psychologically crippled just
because they encountered failure at a point in their lives. Is failure that
dreadful? No! It is in fact worth falling in love with. The truth is; before
you failed, you’ve tried, if you fail, just retry. "Failures, repeated failures, are finger posts on the road to
achievement. One fails forward toward success.”- C.S. Lewis
Don’t misconstrue my words; no one is asking you to
wish for failure. Evidently, at some point in our lives, we will always be a
host to it. I just want you to accommodate failure as though you were expecting
it even if you never see it coming. If you fail to accommodate failure, it
will overpower you. You actually accommodate failure to granting it a good riddance; you
host it so as to get rid of it. Now, how do you do that? I found the
simplest answer in the words of Coco Chanel; “Success is often achieved by those who don’t know that failure is
inevitable.” Bearing at the back of our mind that failure is a thing no one
can dodge is crucial to succeeding in life.
Indisputably, inability to get a desired and amazing
result could be truly hard to cope with. It’s time to have a paradigm shift and
appreciate this beautiful phenomenon. Donald trump says, “Sometimes by losing a battle, you find a new way to win the war”.
Just recap and compare your attitude during every failure you’ve experienced.
When you saw it as a chance to retry, what was your next result like? When you
saw it as a chance to be sad and pathetic, what was the outcome like? “Winning is great, sure, but if you are
really going to do something in life, the secret is learning how to lose. Nobody
goes undefeated all the time. If you can pick up after a crushing defeat, and
go on to win again, you are going to be a champion someday.” Says Wilma
Rudolph.
It
will be rather so inefficient and worrisome if we fail and fail to learn from
our failure; what a waste of experience! We fall to rise; if we never fell, how would we
have known how to garner enough strength and rigor required for even a better rise.
For every mistake made, possibility of making more mistakes dwindles; for
every failure, there is even a greater chance of achieving success.” The
richest man in the world, Bill Gate says, “It
is fine to celebrate success but it is more important to heed the lessons of
failure.”
The thick line between prosperity and adversity can’t
be overlooked. The former attracts people’s love and attention while the latter
doesn’t . When we fail to meet up to expectations, we are often left to face
the music. Don’t worry, the rhythm of failure will be sonorous if
you see it as a stepping stone to a positive result. Don’t point
accusing fingers, no one is responsible for your failure but you, just as no
one will be responsible for that upcoming success I envisage for you but you.
Till next week, “my great concern is not whether you have failed but whether you are
content with your failure.”- Abraham
Lincoln.
Have a beautiful week!
