The Nature of Failure
In every part of human life, there is really a balance between two opposing forces that cannot be out of our lives. We experience sadness and we laugh in a time our destiny dictates us to be happy. The same thing when we achieve lots of success but at the same time lots of failures. It is also a part of our human instinct that when we want to achieve something, we don't want failures to arrive. When failure overpowered our dreamed success, it can result to disappointments, frustrations and depressions to name a few.
However, take a reflection from
this question: Does it mean that you are really a failure when you failed at achieving something? Does it mean that we can no longer be successful when we have failed especially for so many times?Eliminate the Pessimistic mind
These questions might ponder in our thoughts and it is the reason why positivity should be inculcated in our minds. Every pessimistic thought is the result of more failures to come. So always stay positive, make it a challenge to rise above failures. Do your best even when the environment is distracting you. The secret for overcoming failure is to always stay positive even when our best actions doesn’t seem to work well.
The learning insight for overcoming failure is that we learn more how to have more positive thoughts to be successful.
