Day 57:) Acceptance
We have bad experiences and rough days in life. We feel sad and cry when we lose. Its good to fail. The success smells more delicious then. But more important is to accept the failure. We often end up in the blame game. Blaming the circumstance or luck. Additionally, we point fingers on others too. However, the decision was ours. We chose to ride on that ship.
What happens when we accept the failure?
It takes courage to accept it. The sign of courageous reflect on one’s personality. Accepting helps us to move forward and face the challenge at hand with calm mind. We end up taking things on lighter node and reach new heights. Accepting is the new beginning.
“If you are not failing, you are not making progress.”
The first time we walked, we fall. We have fallen may be a thousand times before we learned to walk properly. But our parents had faith in us. Yes, my kid can do it. I haven’t come across any human being who hasn’t failed from Obama to M.S. Dhoni. They embraced failure and practiced harder. They rectified their mistakes. As Vinod Khosla, noted,“People remember us for success”. Success do matter in life. People remember Mr. Khosla for being the CEO of Sun Microsystem. However, before that he had worked on other ventures, but they didn’t turn out to be successful. In your 60’s you will surely cherish the failure more than the success.
There is no harm in failing. The real pain is in stop making progress. You may get stuck at times. You may not know what the next path should be. We can always reach out to people and choose wisely what suits us.
To quote Dumbledore, "Understanding is the first step to acceptance, and only with acceptance can there be recovery."
