How To Fail Forward....

Hi Everyone!!. I think it's being three days or so since my last article, this is due to the fact that I have been having issues with my Android phone and worst of all, the electricity wouldn't come up for me to charge my laptop and write.

No worries though, I am here today, and I hope I met y'all in peak condition. A lot of people are no strangers of hearing this particular perspective on failure. Maybe you have actually taken your time to give it a go, but you had a tough time and you couldn't continue.

That's Okay, I guess. Probably not, perhaps. Either of the two, I hope this might enlighten you more.

Most people have conditioned themselves to look at the end result of a person's success story. For example, celebrating a Male Olympic Gold medalist, without thinking about the many races such an athlete had lost over and over, the multiple trainings he had to do to correct his technique, or the excruciating injuries he had along the way.

You need to change your mentality of failure, and learn to approach it with an entirely different mindset. Failures can move you one step closer to your success. Failures are meant to make you rather than mar you, but sadly, it isn't. A lot of people see failure as the end of the world.

Sucessful people are those who keep moving, those that make mistakes but never quit.

Here are five guidelines to follow on changing your view on failure and match forward with it:

1. Appreciate The Value Of Life

Always make it note - worthy that there's no way to take the success journey without experiencing failure. Each time you fail, know that you've travelled another mile on the road to success. Appreciate the fact that failure is aimed to make you value life, you are never so closer to success, than when you fail in a good cause. Each time you experience failure, remind yourself that you are one step closer to victory, appreciate the value of life.

2. Keep A Sense Of Humour

It's completely easy for you to laugh and be in a great mood, but it's important to laugh when everything goes wrong. Nothing improves emotional health like laughter. It relives stress, and helps you to quickly put your failures behind you.

3. Make Failure A Learning Experience

Failure isn't failure unless you don't learn from it - Dr. Ronald Niednagel .

To be successful, you need to develop the ability to learn from your mistakes and failures. That learning process is what might be a springboard to unlocking your potential.

4. Envisage The Bigger Picture.

Yeah, always look at the bigger picture. Pep Guardiola had one of the worst season of his managerial career as a Manchester City coach in his first year, and set a record of untenable losses that year. But you know what?. He is the best coach in England right now. He has won all there is to be won, and certainly if there was an hall of fame for coaches, he would probably be in the top three. Always look at the bigger picture, his failure wasn't final, and neither is yours.

5. Don't Give Up

You might actually have a long list of failures, but I can tell you with certainty that the list will only keep adding up. We all will keep failing. The issue isn't about failure, but your determination on failing backwards or forwards. That's the real question.
