Finding Positivity in the Face of Failure
We live in a city called life which gives us roads to walk and destination to go. We either succeed in reaching there or we fail. Failure is an invincible thing, you cannot skip it or overpower it. This is a sure thing to come if you have goals to fulfil. Therefore, you must always expect it to come so as to lessen your fear of it. Remember, failure is not that bad, it only proves that you are a human being who tried.
We can fail at many things – sticking to the New Year resolution, overcoming an addiction, completing career goals, getting good grades, relationships, a long list goes on like this. Failure at most of the times induces negativity in us. Our hopes slowly start fading as does our ability to get over it and take the next step. We start blaming us or others because of whom we failed.
Remember, there is an opportunity whether small or big every time you fail and in all of your setbacks. Your perspective of seeing a failure decides if you see that opportunity. If success creates a good leader then failure creates a good guide. If you cannot tell others the right path, you can always tell them which path not to go. Now you know what not to do if you want to succeed the next time. A failure only draws you near success every time it happens. This makes failure a very necessary part of life.
To move on with your life and find positivity, firstly you must admit and accept the failure. Sometimes you become so lost in your purpose that you find it hard to believe that you failed. You think that you tried so hard that it is unacceptable to fail. But your growth starts with accepting that you were unable to succeed in you purpose.
You are not alone who failed. Lots of people in this world who tried to achieve anything failed at least once. You can always find comfort in this fact. You can find lots and lots of examples of such people. Like that if you fail try to be an example.
Even after failure, try not to give up ever. If you are determined in achieving something, you will eventually find a way. Hope should be the only thing in your life that should keep you alive. Just follow you mission and you purpose. Your success is waiting somewhere for you and failures are just roadblocks. It is your choice whether you want to meet it or not.
