Failure? No. The stepping stone.

Have you all ever experienced failure ? Failure in terms of academics, sports, or you may say some activity you like or above all , “your dreams”? Failure seems to have impact on everything we do even when we don’t want it to have any impact. See, when failure strikes us when we believed we’ve done enough for the success is worst. Accepting it and moving on is hard. But is that going to help us anyways? NO. Is this going to be undone? NO. Then I think we should take a deep dive into something called the ” Reversal of mistakes”. Every unique mistake have got a very unique result or you may say failure.

Reversal of Mistakes.

Let’s have some reality check.

Reality check 1: Do you know why we fail? we do not fail because we didn’t give any effort but because we did not channelize it towards the right thing. We couldn’t see the red flags. Actually we ignored the green ones . Taking us back to our preparation times. Did we really listen to our problems? Did we realize where the efforts are needed? We have ignored it thinking its a small part. what impact it would even have? But remember every mistake you commit. you have to pay for it. Mistakes come with a price and the price is failure.

Reality check 2: We realize the reasons of our failure but we hardly actually accept it and suppose, we accept it we don’t really act upon it. This is even worse than not able to know which are green and which are red flags. Accepting isn’t the ultimate but the penultimate. Acting upon is the ultimate goal.

You must be thinking tell us about the ” reversal of mistakes”. How do we undo it? but to be honest there’s no such thing as reversal of mistakes. What’s done is done. Yes of course we cannot change what has already happened but we can definitely avoid the same mistakes. I know some exam or an activity doesn’t really define our whole being but are we ready to accept that?

Failure questions your being but when it does it also defines our value for success. Failure isn’t something that pulls us down but is something that lifts us up but also keeps us grounded. Failure builds our character. It gives us empathy. Empathy is greatest of all tool which we get through failure and no form of success can give us that. Accepting failure and acting upon the mistakes are success in itself . Its called growth and that’s what we seek out of Success. Isn’t it ?

Failure isn’t something which is desired of but it is something which is necessary.”
