Eventually, this series is coming to a hurt, but not until you
hear this ‘’Success is not built on success. It’s built on failure. It’s built
on frustration. Sometimes it’s built on catastrophe’’. – Sumner Redstone
Let say you have a job and you work really hard at it.
You’re always the first person to enter the office, you stay late, and you even
work on the weekends. One day, your employer calls you in to his office and
unexpectedly lays you off. At that precise moment, your heart sinks and your
entire world comes crashing down. You automatically think you’re a failure. You
think you’ll never be successful. Does that sound like you? Sadly, we’re all
guilty of thinking this about ourselves at some point in our life.
When you do, remember these 4 simple truths to help you dust
yourself off and soldier on.
11. Failing doesn’t make you worthless sir!
Listen up, in today’s world, we are constantly preoccupied
with what others think about us. For some inexplicable reason, we want everyone
to think we’re successful and thriving. We fear that if we fail, we’ll be
perceived as a good-for-nothing. But everyone fails in life. I mean, look at
Steve Jobs or Bill Gates, Dangotes, Professor Osinbajos did they become
successful overnight?
22. Failing opens up new doors
While we often think of failing as the end of the world,
it’s actually a redirection. I know it’s hard to believe, but you have to
understand that every time something doesn’t work out, it’s because something
way better is on the way. All we have to do is work hard, be patient, and trust
the process.
33. Failing makes you stronger
Although failure knocks you down on your feet, it also
forces you to get back up and continue fighting. It forces you to get out of
your comfort zone and try things you wouldn’t have otherwise thought of trying.
In other words, failure forces you to grow. So every time you feel like you’ve
hit rock bottom, remember that what doesn’t kill you makes you stronger.
44. Failure is delay not defeat
Life has a funny way of taking unexpected turns, but I
promise you it’s nothing against you. You see, everything in life has its own
timing, and everyone on this planet has their own personal clock. So sometimes
when you fail, it’s not because you didn’t try hard enough. It’s because the
universe is telling you that it’s just not your time. What can you do in this
case? Trust your timing. Trust the process. Just like Steve Jobs once said: ‘You
can’t connect the dots looking forward; you can only connect them looking
backwards. So you have to trust that the dots will somehow connect in your
future’.
You want the Kernel of the series and the moral of the
story? To quote Denzel Washington, “You will fail.” Not once, not twice, but
many, many times. That’s what life is about. So stop being so hard on yourself.
Focus on learning the lessons of each failure, and the next one will take you
one step closer to success.
Thanks a bunch for reading………
