FAILURE !!!

Failure.....

Oh, the very word strikes fear into our hearts. The very thought sets us a trembling! Failure! The thing we are all taught to avoid at all costs. The nemesis of life – to fail!A single word that puts a question to your worth,your capability and your future.

Yet, really, I realize an earnest need of failures in one's life!A key to success...

It is well said that "Fear of failure must never be a reason not to try something.”

We have to simply learn from the failures and have to reframe our ideas. If you see failure as signifying the end of everything, then you may as well jump off the Post Office Tower now. But if you see failure as an opportunity to learn – then you have an entirely different take on life.
"There are no failures - just experiences and your reactions to them."So is one supposed to learn from all one’s failures? Yes! Each failure in life is meant to teach you something about life so that you can advance a little way. It may only be a step or two – but you have learned something about what failure means and that should help you towards future success.

What we need to do is to reframe our thinking constantly, so that we see failure as serving us, as part of the necessary road we have to travel towards the success we desire.

You all know the very familiar story about Thomas Edison, the great inventor. After failing in his experiments to make a successful light bulb twenty thousand times, a reporter asked him whether he was going to continue with his experiments. He replied that of course he was going on, and that he did not regard his twenty thousand experiments as failures, but rather saw them as having established twenty thousand different ways of how not to make a successful light bulb. In other words he saw each failure as a doorway to future success.
That is a terrific attitude!!!and only this attitude can make u shine and glow.:-)

Looking back I can see times and areas of my life where I had arrived in a cul-de-sac. I did not realise it at the time, but I was in a dead end. I would never have achieved my aims if I had continued down that road. But I continued down that road! Eventually I realised that it was a cul-de-sac and that failure stared me in the face. I turned round and went back and tried another road. That it is the key – let each failure teach you how to go forward in a different direction.

But of course we don’t act like that usually, do we? Instead we moan and bewail our mistakes, or we shut up in the hope that nobody else knows about them. What shame our failures make us feel! But how lacking in understanding we are to treat our failures as shameful. They are not shameful. The only shame is when we let failure stop us in our tracks and give up trying.

We all face failure – in large or small measure most days. Sometimes it seems as if life itself has almost collapsed. Sometimes we know that it has just collapsed! And we blame ourselves – rightly as it often turns out, because a lot of it is down to our self will, our selfishness and our ignorance.

It may seem facile to talk, at such a time, about failure being a signpost for future success. But, actually, it is true. Sooner or later you are going to have to pick yourself up, dust yourself down and get started again. At that point you have to remember how and why you made such a mess of things last time. That is the only sensible course as it enables one, hopefully, to avoid making the same mistakes all over again.

"Failure is not falling down but refusing to get up".
Remember,you cannot fail until you stop trying.

So get up and try..........try till you..??.......die??No my dear friend!!
Get up and try,try till you fly
