OVERCOMING FAILURES WITH THE RIGHT MINDSET.

Let's be honest, life is not easy. Sometimes life can be so tough and the situation around may feel so hopeless. However, if you can hold on and try again, you will be surprised by the results you will amass. Just because you didn't succeed in doing a particular thing doesn't mean you have failed, it just means that you if you try harder you will be able to achieve it.

Life is not fair sometimes, but it is worth living with the hope of a better tomorrow. As long as you are on the right path in accordance to your goals, even though challenges will come but they will not be able to pull you down. Don't be among those the give up easily. The future is not for those who give up easily in the face of challenges, but for those who persevere and continue persevering even in the midst of adversity and setbacks.

If you have ever watched a boxing tournament, you will understand why knocking down an opponent is not synonymous with knockout. Sometimes an opponent may have fallen more than once, but he can still get up and win the competition. Likewise, in life, the outcome is not determined by the presence of challenges, but by how well you deal with them. It should be noted that the challenge is not the most important to your success or failure, but your response to the challenges.

Remember that challenges are never perculiar to just you. The same challenges you face may have been faced by others before you. But the way you respond will determine the outcome that will be. Often times, the difference between people who face life's challenges and come out victorious is the result of personal decision. Many people now listed as successful have failed at some point, but they didn't let failure get in the way of their dreams, what they did is to try again. The reason why people fail is mostly because they become afraid to fail. They forget it's more dangerous not trying at all.

Of course, just trying it will give you an advantage as you will gain more experience and better knowledge, which will help you later on in your next attempt. The more you try, the more experience you have and the higher your chances of doing it right next time. So you see, you should not allow a single failed attempt to determine your fate. Success, for the most part, is not an absolute function of not falling but of getting up every time you fall. As long as you get up when you fall, you are not a failure. Nobody can make you fail until you accept it.

Remember the popular quote which says “failure always begins with the heart”. When your mind accepts the failed attempt as your destiny, that failure will truly define it. But if you don't give up and keep trying, you will find that what others might call failure will become your motivation. It's up to you to decide whether the failures you face will discourage you or become your motivation to try again.

There is a reason why there is a 'second chance', so you know that your whole life and future does not depend on one attempt. If you try something and it doesn't work, you won't because of that let your dream and your idea to be lost. Instead you will look for another method or process to achieve them.

Be focused, ensure that you finally reach your goal. If you were on your way to a certain destination and only realized that the path was holding you back, would you give up and go home, or would you find another way and continue the journey? Likewise, in life, don't see failure as the end but as a point for you to re-strategize.

Thank You.
