“Focus on where you want to go, not what you fear.”
Society teaches we should avoid failure that failure at all costs. We observe failure as a fate that is so egregious that it might just permanently mark you for life. It is such a problem that people go to great lengths to make sure they are never associated with failure. Yet failure persists because there is value in the experience of falling short. Those who learn to deal with the specter of it will be able to rise to their highest heights. Those who fear it will never accomplish much. Where there is an excellent reward, there is always a considerable risk. You can’t have one without the other.
A Teacher
When you are looking for the right method to achieve, there will be a period of trial and error naturally as we learn what works and what needs to be improved. Each failure offers the opportunity to learn and increase our talent level. If you run from failure, there will be no risks taken. If you take no chances and get out of your comfort zone, you will not grow, and without growth, death occurs.
Being great is not going to happen overnight, and it isn’t going to come pain-free. The pain comes from falling short, trying something, and having it not work right. Then the glory comes from picking up the pieces, honestly evaluating the process, and making changes so that the next time you WILL NOT fail. Failure is the teacher to the wise and the master of fools.
Schools Are Bland Factories
The education system today discourages failure in any way. Society designs the evaluation to reward those who follow the directions and rarely think for themselves. There are precious few possibilities where real critical thinking is encouraged. If students attempt to think for themselves, society informs them they are wrong and given a poor grade. Failure is not encouraged in any way.
All people are students in life, and obtaining knowledge in life’s classroom will involve a certain amount of failure. That is life. These challenges will come to you no matter if you are rich or poor, old or young, married or single. There will be times when your plans won’t work out the way you hoped, which is the bedrock of greatness. These are valuable life lessons that can guide you through any adversity. Great people rise above the challenges to try again and again until they find the missing ingredients of prosperity. Our schools should teach students to experience the process of failure and enjoy the flavor of achievement.
Sweet Taste of Accomplishment
In conclusion, it is a fact that when you are seeking to become successful, there is a risk that you might fail. You cannot have the real potential to be your best without the risk of failure. That is what makes the game exciting and
allows for life to be an experience of growth. If you have never failed, then you have no idea how valuable success is. Success tastes way better after you are forced a meal of your dreams dashed or destroyed.
Remember this when someone has failed and fell short, that they dared to try, and they are one step closer to finding success, while you on the sidelines of life are no closer. You are moving away from it by standing still. Take action, support others in their dreams, and run your own goal forward with your actions. Those who judge the failures of others harshly are secretly happy they failed because it justifies their inaction.
Be brave in the pursuit of your goals and dreams and accept the risk of failure. It is the only way to enjoy the best of life. Be Brave in your attempts, and forces will come to your aid.
Failure Is the Condiment That Gives Success Its Flavor – Truman Capote
