When we’re young and growing up, we’re often told that failure is something to be feared and avoided, and whilst it is true that no one really wants to fail or feel like a failure, there are definitely worst things that can happen and failure isn’t one of them.
If you’ve ever followed anyone who’s achieved anything big in life, all you have to do is read a few of their blogs, watch their videos, or even read their books to see the pattern that exists within all of them, and that is that they have all failed at some point in their lives, but more so, have failed many more times than they actually succeeded.
This thing that they all share within their story is how their failures actually shape them as people, and who they are today that allowed them to bring their message and their work to the world to help millions of people.
Not everything has to be a rags to riches story in order to justify failure, but it’s about time that people accepted that failure is part of success and that is not something that we should be scared of or run away from.
The worst thing that we could actually do in life is to never try anything, because if we never fail at anything, then all it means is we were too afraid to try anything.
To stop worrying about your failures or the fact that you think you can’t succeed, I want you to look back and all the times in your life where you’ve actually overcome failure and see where you are now in comparison, and what you’ve learnt along the way.
You can write it down in a journal or you can just sit and think about it, because I guarantee that there are more than you think, and it won’t take long for you to make the connection between those perceived failures and the person you are today.
Too often we’re so hard on ourselves, because we feel like we have to be perfect at everything, but what happens is we set the bar for ourselves so high that it becomes unachievable, so then we’ll look at everything as a failure and then become even more afraid to try new things in case we do fail.
Because this doesn’t mean it that you go out in automatically stop trying to give your best at everything you do or just resign yourself to stay here but you have to understand that a large part of success is actually within the failure and that you will see you will feel more time music site but what that means is that makes the successes that you do have so much more meaningful when you do it to them because you know that you’ve learnt and you’ve worked hard and never giving up.
You need to let go of the idea that you have to be perfect. You already are perfect just as you are, because you’re here on this earth and you’re here to do wonderful things.
So the next time that you’re worried about failing, instead think about the things that you may need to learn and how much you’re willing to do to learn those things, and to never give up on them.
If you’re prepared to fail for the things that you really want, then there should be no question in your mind as to whether you’re going to have to stay committed or not to get there, because at the end of the day, you’ll see that there’s no easy path to success, so you have to be prepared to deal with that.
Success is not something that’s guaranteed because of your talent, skills, education, or any other factors. Success is determined mainly by the determination that you show, and your ability to never give up, and if you give up any time you face failure or with every bump along the road, then you’ll never succeed, and you’ll have failed simply because you didn’t even try.
You have to realize that success does not come overnight, but it’s something that is acquired over your lifetime, and will take as long as it takes, as long as you keep showing up every day and putting in the effort to make the things you want actually happen for you.
If you’re prepared to fail as many times as it takes to get what you want, then you know for sure that you want it deep down.
