“It is our choices that show what we truly are,
far more than our abilities.”
Life is full of choices. The choices we make shape our
future. Every decision that we take becomes a reason for what our life turns
into tomorrow. Success and Failure are also choices. ‘Falling through’ is the
first step on the long journey of finding success. Failure, if taken
positively, will help any individual in the long run. But if failure is taken
in a pessimistic way, it may never help to achieve success.
The choice
to be taken here is whether to ‘give up’ or ‘take the next step’. When it comes
to failure, it is our ego that tries to deny that we have made mistakes and
that it’s time to make things right. We hardly notice the fact that failure is common
– actually more common than success! Every person faces failure in their
life at least once. The most genius minds have been moulded through
failures. The people known to be successful today like Albert Einstein,
Bill Gates, Walt Disney, Thomas Edison failed, but never gave up.
Failure occurs when we try something beyond our limits
and make mistakes. Success comes our way when we correct these mistakes. Every
time we fail there is something new that we discover; there is something new
that we learn. When we fail, we re-do. Re-doing equals practice. When we
practice, we learn. When we learn, we get perfect at it. At the end of it we
become successful.
One must know that both failure and success is not
permanent. Success can only be reached, if you walk through failure. You can’t
physically change failure; you can only change your mind-set towards it.
Running away from failure equals running away from
success!
