Will to Fail

@autofreak on this one...

There are several millions of motivational speakers in the world of today, trying so hard to crack the shell of what seems to be egg of failure in us. They waw their audience or readers with ornamental words and lyrical testimonies. Sweet words alone is not enough to eliminate the failure, in fact, it is too little to make pronounced impact. We have heard enough about failure that writing anything to explain it, will dilute the message of this article. Smartly, so speakers tell us that the best way to overcome failure is to keep failing. While this is laughable, it is not more than cosmetic approach. Overcoming failure is deeper than that, it disguises in so many ways that makes it a hell of a job to diagnose.

If the Will to Fail manifest in us like ringworm and measles does, you may not need to read beyond this line. Why? Because every Tom knows how to get rid of these. If you introduce a party lover to a dirty stinky philosopher, and tell them to marry each other, you'd be thought of as mad matchmaker. Of course, they have the right to feel this way, that you are insane. But in reality, they are compatible in the sense that the Will to Fail in one is no more than the other. How? Extroverts, introverts and daydreamers are motivated by similar impulse, they try hard to fail, though unconsciously.

The following are the symptoms of failure, subtle but dangerous, hardly noticed but can be eliminated when they are acknowledged and worked on.

Those who live their lives with a common common denominator:

They act like life do not have a span. Markus Aurelius sternly warned that we shouldn't act as if we have a thousand more years to live. Whether they dance away their time or daydream, it boredown to the fact that to them, precious hours are inexhaustible. Since there are so many ways to fail, the list is endless. I will share an example with you; there are people who sleep longer than recommended hours that is required by their body to function properly. They count morning as same number of hours that they slept last night, waking them up from sleep means deprivation and could be half alive throughout the day. They have only one thing growing in them 'Will to Fail.'

---

The Introverts:

Sometimes, they are referred to as waking sleepers, these people allow tonnes of activities to pass without conscious attempt to participate. Every moment of their lives, they figure out time-killing activities like playing games, endless reading, watching movies. Perhaps you already acknowledged this Will to Fail, you agreed that it may give you compensation to death, but never a reward to live. So this means that you are in for long struggle.

Heavy Drinkers:

They are the most recognised lovers of failure, when you drink so much that being conscious become a luxury, leading to a kind of death in life. Then Will to Fail is powerfully present. Well, millions are in this category, they are unnoticed because they barely consume or do not consume alcohol at all. If drinking a certain kind of drink creates discomfort, whether it is tea, milk or coffee- and you persist in drinking it. Be rest assured that Will to Fail has taken deep roots. No doubt, eating without sense is capped under this category. Choose what you eat, food don't choose human!

---

The Extroverts:

They are the active type, we can say that the extroverts who pursue failure actively often device so many ways to achieve it. Any day or week gone without entertainment is counted as lost. They are relentless theater goers and music lovers, who dance to subdue deep thought. Absolutely, nothing is wrong with entertainment well deserved, after a period of productive activities. Honesty with oneself is important, to know how much entertainment is enough.

Aimless Conversationalists:

As you read this, you will discover that many fall into that group easily, but how many times have you noticed that you repeated same story to same friends in just few weeks ago, maybe a different audience. When we find ourselves in same situation, we repeat the same thing, same observation to the same situation. We provide same illustration to prove same point. This is called a reminiscent cycle. Whichever way we view it, it is one of the recipes for failure, adding sweet aroma to the Will to Fail.
Have you not observed the verbal mannerism, so hard that it is almost impossible to break lose? You are always saying "I see," "I mean," "As in, " "You know?" you are likely going to be listening to yourself during conversations, even when your speech is passing new ideas across, it doesn't look like the ideas are new to you. This is a habit that must be worked on.

Eternal Students of Postgraduate Courses:

Year after years, we keep seeing them in same or different campus. They stroke this symptom with disguise that they are perpetual students of knowledge. Contrarily, they are yet to figure out what is valuable to them. They engage in research which is beyond their powers. Look around you, they are in your school, search within you too, be sure that you are not one of them.

---

So how long will it take you to embellish this Will to Fail?

You have to start living like tomorrow is out of reach, your motive should be: to work on these symptoms if you notice that you have all in your life. Substitute time wasting activities for productive ones, avoid any food that will deny you your priceless consciousness for a second, and strike the balance between daydreaming, introvert and extrovert. Wisdom is knowing what to do and what not. Start by defining your life purpose, when this is clear, it makes it easier to define the meaning of ones life. Remember, having Will to Succeed/Fail is a choice placed before you, because Will is so invisible and powerful, only you have control over it. Choose wisely and stay conscious.
