Life is very beautiful if you can manage to see the beauty in every situation. On the other hand it can also be very difficult and challenging. Many people assume that success is very simple and that there should be no downtime as you travel the path towards it, however, if you want to achieve something and you are willing to do everything that it takes to be a success – short of doing anything illegal, unjust or unkind – then you should not be afraid of failing somewhere along the way. In fact, failure is a huge part of success. As the leading experts say, failure is the chance to begin everything again but now you are wise and you are much closer to your goal.
Every success starts with the failure, period. One the world’s geniuses Albert Einstein said the following: “failure is success in progress.” That’s definitely the truth which we have to face in our endeavours towards greatness, and at the same time, success. We should underline all the positive features that failure gives us. First of all the failure gives us chance to become more confident and clever. If you put effort into something in heading towards your chosen endeavour but you failed to achieve what you were attempting to do, or you discovered that it wasn’t the right choice to make, it means that you have to find new way – you discovered that the previous method does not work so you have to work on another method. That’s the beautiful side of failure.
The fear of failing, or even the fear of mediocrity, can be a great motivation for some people – it can make certain individuals become unstoppable. Those who are concerned about their reputation in other people’s eyes can often become adamant to win, therefore fear changes their mindset. Fear of failure is something that can be used to make someone more powerful, and when an individual faces his or her fears they become almost superhuman. It is important to note though that the fear must not become an obsession, because then it becomes the wrong reason to head towards success. One must remain balanced in all that one does. For those who do remain balanced and have a healthy fear of failure or mediocrity, they discipline themselves is so many ways and raise their energy levels to a point where they start to call upon their supernatural abilities, which helps them reach their desired goals so much faster.
Every successful individual will tell you that success is not without failure, and that he or she failed many times along the way towards success. You have to test everything and after few failures you will learn what not to do and which way is best to take you to the top of success and greatness. Believe me, when you take risks then you should learn that sometimes there will be success and sometimes there will be failure, but both of them are equal. Failure is the great teacher and can lead you greatness with its teachings. When you fail at something you should not give up because giving up lasts forever. You have to be very patient and never give up. Success first met with failure however, the one who failed learned from failure and continued their work, so they became very successful. Failure tells you what to do and how to do it. Failure gives you a proper perspective on success.
I’m sure you all have heard of Thomas Alva Edison. Edison took 22 other inventors’ work and then improved the light bulb. He wasn’t the inventor from scratch, but he made the lightbulb more practical – enough so that it would burn for much longer and have more luminosity. Prior to Edison, the lightbulb would burn and show light only briefly, so he was the one without fear. In fact, Edison had very interesting opinions on success and failure and about the cohabitation of these two parts of our lives. Thomas Edison claimed that he didn’t fail, he just found thousands ways that didn’t work. That’s the meaning of our life. You have to try your best each time and if you failed during this then you have to continue your progress and never give up. If Thomas Edison were a man full of fear then the progress of mankind would be interrupted for a long time. As you see from Thomas’s example, the road to success is full of failure, but from failure you should learn as much as you can, analyse your mistakes and then act in alignment with a successful resolution or outcome. In fact, success is definitely going from failure to failure without losing your faith and drive to success. Failure is one of the main ingredients of success – without it you can’t reach your true measure of greatness.
If you don’t understand the real meaning of failure then you probably have to consider a new perspective. All that is required for that to happen is to simply change your definition of failure. If you think that failure is fatal and can’t be changed then you are wrong. You should understand that failure is a part of success. Failure simply means that you can’t have success in the way you may have previously wanted, and now you know more than you knew when you began heading towards it. If you failed on the road to success, all this means is that you have to change your game plan. Now you are aware of the ways that will fail, and you have to move in another direction or tweak what you did previously just enough to produce the results you’re after. All successful people admit that they achieved something great only by testing and failing few methods on the path of greatness. As you see, it may take a long time but don’t ever give up. After failure you have to pick yourself up and be strong and overcome whatever obstacles stand in your way. Is it laziness? Is it lack of attention to detail? Is it that you need another piece of information that you don’t currently know? Failure merely means that there is a piece of the puzzle still missing, that’s all. Someone who fails and after this achieves huge success, knows the real taste of success, which can’t be described. So you have to look at failure as the indivisible part of success. Do you want victory? Then you have to look at the failure as the chance to improve your plan and gain the benefit of knowledge and wisdom before achieving the success that you aim towards.
All successful people and experts agree on one thing. There is nothing sweeter than victory which was built on overcoming failure. Yes, that’s the right mindset. Success is the best way to outshine your critics, and success that is built on overcoming failure is definitely a whole new level and you can’t compare it with anything else. So foresee the fact that failure is a major part of success. After failure some people give up on their dream – that’s why they remain the same for a whole lifetime sometimes, but you should know that the failure is the best teacher. After it you know more and proved that this method is not working, so you have to move on another one. If you fail always change the method or rules of game but never change the goal and dream.
If you want to achieve success then you probably have to change your mindset and the view of life. So for the first step you have to understand that your failure give you the chance to be one step closer to your dream and success. Change your view of life and everything will be changed around you.
