Embracing Failure (F+)

Hey, ever just gave up after too much failure?

No-one likes Failure, it Lowers confidence, self esteem and  ultimately the will to aspire and strive for what it is we want. Then depression sets in. Isn’t that right?

The worst part is,  today’s society makes the effects of failure so much worse, for instance the school system, do you guys remember when you were in prep school or elementary school, where your spelling teacher would put up a Star Table, remember that? Every time a person passed, they would get a star beside their name, and the class mates would always look to see who is at the highest in the class and who is at the lowest, now no one would really want to socialize with the lowest speller now would they, if not they would laugh at the lowest speller or the lowest speller would just have a decrease in confidence just by looking at his name on the sheet as the lowest speller in his whole class! Whether it is in your school days or in your business, no one likes to be fired, and everyone likes to be promoted right? The point is, you hate failing and it makes you feel bad.

Today’s society is full of judgment, so where you are negatively judged there will be a drop in confidence and self esteem.

I bet you wish you could never fail at anything, your just there always thinking how much failing sucks, “I wish I was perfect!” That is what many of you wished.

Well, I’m here to  encourage you to do quite the opposite of hating failure, by embracing it! Thats right embrace failure, because it just might be your way out of depression, or the troubles you go through at the moment!

What you don’t know, is this article just might be your key to success, the missing puzzle piece to why you can’t seem to do anything right!

You see the problem of most people is, failure puts them down so much that they give up entirely on what it is they are trying to achieve! As I said above, failure helps you to succeed, without failure there is no success. Here is the benefits of failure

• Lesson learning : Without failure, there is no lesson to learn about what to do and what not to do in trying to achieve your goal!
• Strength: Failure makes you stronger, new research tells that failure can enhance your brain, and when you fail and you actually decide to get back up, you go back at it stronger than before, with more confidence, “Why would I have more confidence after failing,” this is what many of you should be saying, and the answer to that is, you’ve learned your lesson, so you go back to achieving your goal without better knowledge and understanding!
• Courage: Once again, linked to learning your lesson, you have more courage going back on track because of your lesson leaned!
• Inspiration: Desire comes with a goal you wish to achieve, when you fail and decide to get back on track you desire more and with the boost of courage you’re inspired to strive harder!

• Clearer Thinking: Failure allows you to think over what you did wrong and to  apply the lessons learned from failing!

I know you all should be saying now “So why don’t I feel good when I fail,” the answer is, you won’t feel good but just like when you were a kid and you fell and cut your knee, 10 minutes later after all the crying you were back out there playing with your friends and running about, you didn’t just give up and say “I ain’t running no more cuz it’s too risky,” did you?

I’m sure not.

Remember people, “Success is move from failure to failure with loss of enthusiasm” ~Winston Churchhill

Now thats some powerful words, and it’s so true, you can fail 8 times and get back on track 9 times, with loss of enthusiasm that 9th time is your success!

Or

You can be a wuss, and give up on that 9th time with a loss of enthusiasm and fall into a state of depression.

You decide.

I’ll End this Article here, to be real with you guys, it’s really late at the time I did wrote this article, so there maybe more to be added.

Maybe I’ll post an article on sleep deprivation and creative geniuses

Here is one of the most inspirational video’s I just found for you guy, then famous quotes preceding.

 

“I have not failed. I’ve just found 10,000 ways that won’t work.” – Thomas Edison

“If you’re not failing every now and again, it’s a sign you’re not doing anything very innovative.” – Woody Allen

“Failure is the condiment that gives success its flavor.” – Truman Capote

“If you’re not failing every now and again, it’s a sign you’re not doing anything very innovative.” – Woody Allen

“Only those who dare to fail greatly can ever achieve greatly.” – Robert F. Kennedy

“Our greatest glory is not in never falling, but in rising every time we fall.” – Confucious

“It is not the critic who counts, not the man who points out how the strong man stumbled, or where the doer of deeds could have done better. The credit belongs to the man who is actually in the arena, whose face is marred by dust and sweat and blood, who strives valiantly, who errs and comes short again and again, who knows the great enthusiasms, the great devotions, and spends himself in a worthy cause, who at best knows achievement and who at the worst if he fails at least fails while daring greatly so that his place shall never be with those cold and timid souls who know neither victory nor defeat.” – Theodore Roosevelt

Hope you likes it, tell me what you gys think in the comment section below.
