Everybody fears failure and portrays failure as something bad. Nobody
wants to be called a failure because they think that society will judge them, and
that, they are letting down their parents. Also, people think they are made fun
of due to their failure and they feel that nobody likes them.
Failure isn’t bad. In
fact, the truth is, without failure, there is no success. Failure and Success
are like two sides of the same coin. One doesn’t exist without the other.
So, here are some steps
you can take to overcome failure, and reach success.
1. Talk It Out
Being called a failure makes
us feel sad. Everyone who fails gets sad, frustrated, angry, moody and
emotional. Talking to someone about how your are feeling can be of great help.
Go talk to your family, friends, relatives, partner, or whoever you are
comfortable talking to.
If you feel that you don’t
want to approach your near and dear ones, you can always approach a
professional and openly talk about your failure. You can also let it out by
writing that might work as well. Do all that it takes and take it out of your
system.
Talking to your
trustworthy people regarding your failure helps you feel better. It helps
relieve stress. It makes you feel less emotional and less moody.
Once you share your
emotions with that person who is ready to listen to you and help you in
whatever way they can, you get that inner peace. You don’t feel empty inside any
more. You get that satisfaction that you’re not alone and that you have someone
to help you out with whatever you are going through.
2. Express Yourself
Never hide your feelings
and emotions after a failure. Always let it out. It’s okay to cry if that’s
what it takes to make yourself feel better. It’s okay to feel sad. Let’s not hide
it behind that fake smile.
Holding back your emotions
will ruin your relationship, social skills, makes you feel depressed and might
alter your mental health as well.
Letting out your emotions helps you
move on, one good note and learn from your mistakes. Hiding your emotions will
not only make you feel lonely and depressed, but also it keeps haunting you at
the back of your head quite often.
Some people consume
alcohol and smoking after experiencing failure. Again, that’s not right. It'll
ruin your body health and function. Also, they provide only temporary relief.
The best way is to act it
out. It’s okay to cry, it’s okay to feel sad, it’s totally okay.After all, why
are we called humans if we don’t express ourselves?
3. Change Your Opinion About
Failure and Accept It
If failure is actually
bad, then various inventions from Thomas Alva Edison's Bulb to Bill Gates's
Microsoft wouldn't have taken place.
It’s time to change your opinion
about failure. Failure leads to success. Failure is a part of everybody's
learning process and it’s very normal. Don’t look at it as something that puts
you down. Rather, look at it as something that pulls you up in the right
direction, cause next time, you'll know what to do and what not to.
It’s not just you who has
faced failure. Many people around you have faced failure as well. Many go
through failure like film stars, class toppers, scientists, teachers, parents,
and many more. It all depends on how you look at it and how much you try hard
to accept it and improve yourself.
Let’s not fear failure.
It’s nothing to be feared about. Let’s accept the way it is and learn from it
and that’s what will make you a better person.
4. Be Optimistic
It’s not failure that’s
bad. What’s worse is the ‘give up' attitude after a failure. What’s worse is
the fact that you don’t make an attempt to correct and rectify your mistakes
but rather blame fate for your failure.
It’s your thought process
that needs to change. It’s all based on how you look at failure. Don’t look at
it as something that makes you a loser, rather, look at it as something that
makes you a better person, a successful person.
5. Rectify Your Mistakes
As failure is a part of
the learning process, it’s always important to learn from your mistakes that
led to such a situation and rectify it. After all, learning from your mistakes
and correcting them is what gives you more knowledge and leads you to success.
Failure provides you with
an opportunity to learn from your mistakes. It’s okay to fail multiple times.
It’s totally okay. After all, If Thomas Alva Edison completely gave up at the
999th attempt, would there be a light bulb now?
6. Work Hard Until You Find
a Solution to It
Seek what you can do to change
it. You will definitely find a solution. Think, talk to people, get help, or
search on the internet and you will definitely find a solution to the problem.
Do all that you can to achieve
your dreams. Prove your fate wrong. Let your hard work define who you are, not
your fate, and don’t give up until you have achieved your goal.
Hard work matters. If
things were so easy to fetch, then what’s the point of living a life? Working
hard for that one goal and finally achieving it, is what life’s about. Let’s
challenge life. Let’s work hard and do all that it takes to achieve a goal.
“There is only one thing that makes a
dream impossible to achieve: the fear of failure”– Paulo Coelho
