1) Failures happen … and will happen again
We cannot succeed without ever failing. Failure is impossible to avoid forever and all of us will experience it several times. Our journey is never as smooth as we would wish. Usually after a series of successes, when times are good, we tend to have a feeling of invincibility. But that will not last. Failure is simply part of our lives and at some stage we are going to fail again. It is bound to happen at some point, so it shouldn’t take us by surprise.
2) You can best learn from failure
Of course, we can also learn from our successes; however, failures often teach us much more valuable lessons. Why? Simply because then we do have something to learn, given that we failed in the first place. Try to search for insights into why it happened and what you can do to achieve a different outcome next time. Maybe you should prepare better, or focus more sharply on one thing. Or perhaps you need to anticipate obstacles sooner, according to an article on the addicted2success.com website.
3) You will get a second chance
Even when experiencing failure, you will only lose your dreams entirely if you stop chasing them. If you don’t give up, there will be another chance. Simply try again. A major failure is always unpleasant, especially if you know that you will have to wait a long time for your next opportunity. But you will have a great sense of satisfaction if, instead of giving up, you try again and succeed. Previous failures are what turn our success into something truly memorable.
Just because you are not the very best in the room, that doesn’t mean you are completely hopeless. Failing is not a sign of incompetence; it merely indicates you still need to work on yourself.
