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.
