Failure is a good thing and experience to come by on our different life journeys.
I must tell you with all sincerity that it is good to fail.
To fail is sweet. You must be reading and wondering, Does he really know what he is saying? Was he writing without his thoughts and consciousness? I am not sure he is really serious. I am indeed very serious about this and all I said about failure.
The common saying, “He who fails to plan, plans to fail.” is 100 percent true. But then I ask myself and you can also ask yourself, there are times in our lives when we planned out our next moves, we meticulously planned out our next goals and aspirations, but to be honest, I must ask you this one question, do they always come out the say way you planned it? Sometimes you might as well not achieve anything and all efforts will be futile. Did you not plan? Yes, you did. Why then did they all not go with the plans, sometimes even before we set to do them we experience failure. The big question is, what do you when you experience failures? Failures are part of the ingredients that makes success.
You can not be successful overnight. There would have been a track record of your failures, and those failures were your ladder to the success you achieved today.
Once again I say to you, Failure is sweet, it is always good to fail. Do not beat yourself down when you fail no matter how big or huge the failure seems or is. I am not saying you should hide your emotions, you have to let them all out, only by doing that will you heal from the pain and get a clear sense of direction of what to do next after failure.
Why is failure good you may want to ask again, Failure helps in building up the thick skins you need to weather any future challenges you might come across on your way to success.
Failure helps you reconsider the wrong steps you took that led to your encounter. It helps you look back, and re-strategize on the next line of action to take. It helps you know and sees if only all you need to do is to modify the previous step you took. A lot of times it is not just about changing your next line of action to something else, sometimes all that is needed is for you to rebrand that same mistake you made to produce your required results. Note: Not all mistakes are to be discarded, Rebrand them.
Failure helps to see the reason why you still have to press on. When we fail it helps to think we can still do better, or you should have done it a different way, or you shouldn’t have taken that bold step now. It all boils down to making you see the reason why you shouldn’t have done it at the moment and the reason why you should have done it a better or different way, giving you the drive you need to try more and press on.
Failure is a platform on which experience is built. The best way you can learn is to fail. That is why we have coaches, mentors, counselors, and so on. they teach from the lessons they had one time in their lives learned the hard way, or from the lesson they got to know about from other people who had failed. You can train hard for a match and still lose, even with a team you were so sure you can defeat. It wasn’t because you did not prepare it was because that was meant to happen. The other team knew something you did not discover. So you failed even with your preparation and the best part is, it helps you understand a better way to comeback. We all know what happened just a single mistake turned all around.
Do not be ashamed to fail. In failure lies success. In all you do, remember to fail, fail, and fail again.
Failure should really be our guide to achieve success. We can never achieve success without experiencing failure/s. Just let it bring out the best in us. When we fail to something, we should not stop right there, instead, strive for more until success will be at hand.☺️
Nice meeting you.🙇♀️👋
