Failures are stepping stones to success

18 Jul 2022

By Ushara Shamini As we all know, failure is a word that serves many purposes in our personal growth. Failure is a necessity to live a life of success. Remember, if you try to go through life without failing at anything, then you’re not living life at all. We all need to take risks and fail at least once because those are the moments that make us who we are. Also, failure allows us to prove to ourselves that we can come back from tragedy stronger than before. Every successful person has had to undergo failures. As you may know, the ability to deal with failures and setbacks is what separates leaders from the herd.  The best ways to deal with failure Learn from the positives: Even though you failed, there are some things that you did well too. So you must build on that and continue doing those positive things in your future. Also, it might be hard to look at the positives of a hard situation, but being grateful for what you do goes a long way in having a positive outlook on life. Have faith in yourself: It’s very easy to lose self-confidence and believe that you are not capable of anything. Don’t let that happen to you. Know that your failure does not define who you are and your capacities; you are much more than that. Give yourself time to recover: As humans, we are so shocked by the magnitude of the failure that we struggle to fully process it. We also don’t fully learn from failure and then, we are at risk of repeating the same mistakes. Keep upskilling: Nobody is perfect and all of us have a lot to learn in life. It is very important to keep going. No matter how little, as long as you keep going ahead, the compounding effect will help you in life. Practise humility: Most of the time, a lot of us create issues out of things that don’t matter simply because they don’t align with our egos. We also feel hurt and betrayed about trivial things and feel like we miserably failed at something. It is human nature to feel this way, but those who succumb to this trait rarely find themselves accomplishing something in life. Always be prepared for change: Things will not always go according to our plans. So you have to find a way around things in an unexpected situation. Don’t fear failure because you do not want to end up in certain circumstances. Always know in your mind that things will not go your way all the time; you should be willing to adapt. Getting back up after failure is never easy: You need to find a supportive environment for yourself. Never regret the failure; always accept it. Failure is something that makes you realise the happiness of victory when you overcome it. If you have gone through a major failure recently or you are going through a tough time, keep these things in mind. Even though there may seem to be many failures and negativity, this only means that positivity and success are on their way. On the long journey of life, failure is just the beginning and a turning point. So don’t lose your fighting spirit, don’t lose your self-confidence, and move forward bravely. Accumulate your self-confidence on the journey of life; always remember that all these difficulties and bumps are just tools for you to build your self-confidence, they’re not a nightmare to defeat you. Don’t forget your dreams, don’t forget your mission, and don’t forget your courageous spirit. Everyone has their own way of dealing with failure, and only you know what suits you best. Get over the trauma, pull up your socks, and start working. The most important thing is to make sure one failure doesn’t lead to many more. PHOTOS © PEXELS.COM
