Failure as a Guide Which Leads to Success

By Chelsea Grace


At first glance, would you be able to tell the real gold from a fake one? Just like majority of people, you probably will not be able to tell since both have the same look, unless you have prior knowledge that one is real. The same thing may be said of failure. In one glance, all failures might look the same because these lead directly to negative results and feelings. It's possible that hidden among these failures is one masked as a nugget of success.

You have read in numerous e-zines, articles, and books that failure is a part of success. Failure is often camouflaged as success and acts as a guide toward success. This tract emphasises that failure is unavoidable in your trek to achievement. In reality it is the critical ingredient to success. How do you deal with this imperative ingredient?

In fact all mess ups have the potentiality to become success stories. It is just a matter of using failure to your advantage. In this example, practice makes perfect. As you run into more failures, you may discover what works and what doesn't. For each failure, you are one step nearer to success. This is the reason you mustn't give up simply should failure occur. Intense belief in your capabilities incentivizes you to continue in following what you are after.

You mustn't be terrified of failure; think about failure as a tool for success. Use failure as a tool in digging your mine of success. So what if I fail. I could have failed now but that doesn't suggest I am totally deserting my success goal. More mess ups mean more lessons that may be learned. This is the disposition you should keep in your consciousness and heart to keep you going for the goal.

What if your resources are all used up? What if you're going broke and accumulating debt? What if your assets are turning into liabilities? This is where your grit and intense belief in yourself come to the picture. If you sincerely think you are making it to the top even if you have got to pass through scourges of failure, go for it.

Make the best from screw ups and learn something from them. Try to keep track of your disasters by listing them on a piece of paper. Use this list to find out the various factors behind mess ups, and solutions you have used to overcome them. Ask yourself: What did I do wrong? How can I do better? Asking tricky questions makes you maximise the golden learning opportunity present in every failure.

Imagine yourself caught in the middle of a hurricane. What do you usually do? When you are in the middle of a typhoon, you stop whatever you are doing and try and protect what you have. You wait out the storm in a safe place and wait for the sun to shine brightly. Amidst any turbulence, you've got to have the faith that you will survive.

Failure is like a storm. It passes quickly. It provides the opportunity for you to stop to think why, how, and where you went wrong. The solution you're searching for is the sun after the storm. You consolidate your resources, backtrack a little, do some adjustments, and then continue pursuing your objective.Remember, all failures have the potential to become success stories. It is merely a matter of using failure to your benefit. Disasters make you wiser and may help you perceive that concealed golden nugget of success.
