Testimonies of failures to success
We cannot learned life without failures to be faced. In fact, failures lead us to be more wiser and be more stronger to face the battle. There are different casualties that tend to broke us into pieces, different uncertainties that will make us down and different pathways that lead to wrong path.
Temptation is one of the most hatred to be found. It is inevitable sometimes especially considering those unlawful but then we are just human that easy to be tempted. We are get easy to be tempted when we forgot to consider the control of God wherein he is in control of everything.
Anyway, It is just came up to my mind but this is just a great realization.
Many times that I expose myself of many failures. Failing grades, failing the expectation of my parents, failing to achieve my dreams on exact time. I fail sometimes to show the world that I am capable but then it taught me a lot that I am not the only one failure but others too.
There are many people that close to my heart shared their testimony that they were once a failure too but it doesn't define their character of being a failure for lifetime.
Let's call her Lut, she is now 45 years old. She took up education way back before but then she doesn't yet took the board exam. She already got married and have four childrens. She loves to work so hard for her not to be stressed so much at home especially she wanted to raised her children alone. She worked at lending company where she is a collector. She is already 10 years working on that company. One time her close friend asked her to took the board exam but she was insisted because there is new curriculum implemented and she is afraid that there is no chances that she would able to nailed it. So, without any hesitations she tried to took up some units on a certain school. She is not a supplemental since she is an elementary education what she wanted to took up is just a refresher of a course. She did schooling for about two years. After that, she was going now to took the board exam but then she is fail to passed it. She took again and again and again. She is already hopeless and tired to reach her dreams to become a Teacher. Even lots of degrading her, underestimated her capacity and unsupportive still she keeps going.I think thirteen times she took the board exam until she made. March 2019 she passed the board exam and it's all worth it that no matter how failures she will encounter still life will always have chances to offer.
Another is one of our neighbor. Lets have this hidden name jack. He is so helpful by going the mountain together with his family. He is youngest among all the siblings. They were living in the lowest status of life. Sometimes they don't have rice to cook and don't have food in the table. Sometimes they were going in the mountain just to look their plants like banana, sweet potato, cassava and any vegetable that they planted for how many months. When they reap what they sow it is already a blessing for them. His father is a farmer and her mother also. They are seven siblings. So, sometimes it's hard for them to divide their food since they are many in one table. There are time that their viand is cooking oil and soy sauce only but they love it already since it will become yummy of their empty stomach. When time turns around, his parents leave them because they need to work the city. Time has come that his parents neglected them to support them because his father found another woman. His parents broke up in a sudden time. He is so hopeless experiencing all those things. He lives on his aunt even he treat him like a helper. He has a dream that is why he sacrificed a lot for him to experience the life that he wanted to be better on her own. He stands her own foot without parents being with him. Gladly, there are other people who took him in college. He tried to become working student and work in every night shift. He is really holding his dream on his two hands. When time goes around he graduated his choosen course and with the bonus he is Cum laude. No matter how dark his experiences, no matter how many thorns on his ways when he has a goal he will gonna achieve it.
We have this saying, 'what goes around comes around and what goes up must come down. Everything in the dark must come to light. And you will reap what you sow.
It might be face of many failures but it doesn't mean we are already a failure instead we are lead to success.
I second your first statement. Yes, there is no success if there is no failure. So if we want to be succesful, we should expect challenges and failures come to us.
