That Word We All Hate: FAILURE

THERE GOES THAT WORD AGAIN!! FAILURE! O BOY! NOT AGAIN!

I mean honestly who wants to talk about failure or the possibility that we all will fail at something in life? But the fact is we need to talk about it!




THAT'S RIGHT WE NEED TO TALK ABOUT IT!

You see failure is important to discuss, because it is a part of success. 

Before we start.... Take a deep breath, because we are diving deep in today's topic. This may be hard to take in. 


It's important to understand that not one of us, and I mean not one of us is perfect. It's unrealistic for anyone to think their perfect. Not one person in history has been referred to as being “perfect”. Look at all the Presidents we've had. Do you remember any of them not making any mistakes? Look at Albert Einstein for example. Einstein is known in history to be the world’s #1 genius of all time, however; he was not always considered a genius. As a young child Einstein was thought to be slow by his teachers. He even was expelled from school, because of his rebellious ways. Yet, this is the same man that won the Nobel Prize and led the way for the United States through his research on the atomic bomb. How many times did Einstein fail? Well, we will never know that exact amount, but we do know he failed. His failure was a part of his growth, which ultimately led to his success.

How will we ever be able to succeed if we don't fail at something? I like to think of failure as the growing pains of life. Failure teaches and matures us. It gives us variety and ultimately becomes a teaching tool for us and others we come in contact with in life. When we fail at something it can become our very own lesson plan. We can use our lesson plan to teach someone else who may be facing the same experiences that we once faced. Failure helps us learn to not give up. If we truly learn to embrace failure we will learn to fight and excel beyond belief. Nothing in this world comes easy, if that was the case struggles would not exist. We will always be students in life no matter what age, because we are forever growing. 

Your greatest challenges are the stepping stones to success. Failure is seen to be negative, when in fact it is positive, because it is needed. It teaches us that we are not perfect, and that we are learners in life. How will we ever learn to lead if we have never failed before? That C you may have gotten will teach you to work for the A you desire. That failed relationship you had will teach you how to have a better relationship for the future. That mistake you made, is the same mistake you can teach someone else not to make. Embrace your failures. Learn that you aren't perfect and that's ok. Rome was not built in one day, and your story is not going to be written in one day either. It is an unending chapter full of losses and wins, and that my friends is all a part of the journey.
