Accepting Failures With Positivity & Strength

One of life’s main lessons is that we are all bound to fail at times, no matter how hard we work or how much we resist it. The good news is we can turn failures into successes, and weaknesses into strengths, by accepting the setback and retrying.

➤Otherwise, the pressure of a failure or unmet goal hampers our well-being. Many of us believe life is a competition, and success is essential for happiness. These misconceptions make us fear failures in life. We treat failures as enemies, rather than as teachers to learn lessons from. But it is said that when we fail, experience and learning are our rewards.

𝟭 ● Don’t create guilt over mistakes or failures. Guilt leads to a feeling that I am not good enough. When you understand that you have just done wrong, you will be able to correct it or do it right the next time. But if you believe that failure means you are not good enough, it lowers your self-esteem.

𝟮 ● Talk to yourself every day to take responsibility for your thoughts and feelings. It helps you realize that your self-worth is independent of your success. You will also realize that your peace and happiness are states of being, created while working towards the goal, not a feeling to be experienced after achieving the goal.

𝟯 ● Failure is unavoidable at times. Check that you have done your best. If so, accept yourself completely. Take the experience, and the lessons, and promise yourself to not repeat the mistake. Conserve energy by not weakening, blaming, questioning, or going into guilt. Use that energy to strengthen yourself and move forward.

𝟰 ● Understand that situations and people are not in your control. How you respond to them is in your control. True failure happens only if you give up, not if you are ready to re-try.

𝟱 ● Set goals, plan, execute, achieve, and enjoy success. But don’t make the task or its result more important than your own physical and emotional well-being.

"Do not worry about problems"

When I only worry about problems, instead of trying to find solutions, it is like cursing the darkness. Will it ever bring me to the solution? Will worrying solve any problem? All I need to do is light a little lamp and I will find the light coming in slowly spreading all around. I find that it is very easy to find the solutions that are already within me.
