Failure is a Prerequisite for Success
I’m not the most successful person, not at all; nor am I a guy to lecture my life. It is just a note that coasted me a lot to write it. I think it might help.
Failure is a prerequisite for success.
To fail is to set up an exception and you get confronted by a less satisfying outcome, in my very personal opinion at least. At these moments I am experiencing a failure recovery phase. A new definition starts to show up. Once you see it you recognize it, and you can tell that this was the definition you gave to failure the last time you overcame it.
It is a panel or a painting in dark colors only to inform you that you should be heading another direction or simply it takes one or more shots to score what you dreamed of. Very few times the sign says “Enough” or “It’s over”. Me, myself I never saw that painting. Though, I tasted failure multiple times in my life. Many more times than I ever tasted the sweetness of success, I tasted failure.
I thought I may be a failure in one moment when I was around 18 in my life. The way I found I was wrong was glorious. It helped me to reduce my recovery time significantly. Before I keep going on I must warn you. Alibis: such an enemy hiding. Be ware of justifying your mistakes, be ware of over judging yourself too. Both give the same outcome “Total paralysis”.
Now What?!!
It’s a simple process, once you learn to be honest with yourself, to know which one you are. What defines you? Surf in or outside yourself. Then simply notice the sign of failure read it well. What does it says? If it says “wrong direction”, realign your concepts. If it says “not enough tries”, try again. If it says “not enough requirements”, seek them and be ready the next time.
I’m not the most successful person, not at all; nor am I a guy to lecture my life. It is just a note that coasted me a lot to write it. I think it might help.
Last word, read it well. Do not just close your eyes.
