The ones who understand failures.

Big dreams and big goals can only be realized as long as you are ready to fail – again and again.  And, you see, the most successful people are those who fail the most. With each failure you grow, you become bigger, you learn new things and you get one step closer to reaching your goals.

One thing is absolutely sure, if you REALLY want to succeed in life, if you want to do something special, if you want to fulfil your dreams… failure becomes inevitable.

But, failing is not so much the problem as the attitude you have towards it. With the right attitude, failure could be surmounted and even be welcome. People who have succeeded in anything know that…

•  Failure is an integral part on the way to success and self realization. Don't sulk, pout or whine about it. Expect it, accept it, and welcome it.
• Every time you fail,  you become stronger, and wiser. You are better able to identify what didn’t work.
• Failure is a great teacher and it allows you to learn some of the most valuable life lessons.
• Each failure brings you one step closer to reaching your goals.
• Whenever you step outside the comfort zone and whenever you try something new, failure becomes inevitable.
• Failure teaches you that a certain approach may not be ideal for a specific situation and that there are better approaches.
• Making mistakes is not a big deal as long as you learn from them and avoid repeating them.
• Successful people will never laugh at you or judge you when you fail, because they have already been there and they know about the valuable lessons you can learn from failure
• Each time you fail, your fear of failure becomes smaller, which allows you to take on even bigger challenges.
•  No matter how often you fail, you are not a failure as long as you don’t give up.

If you are still stuck in your old paradigm of “failing is bad and should be avoided by all means”,  if you're still being held back by your fear of failure, then you ought to read some autobiographies of highly successful people to learn how they “failed” their way to success. You might be surprised at how often they failed until they finally excelled, the lessons their failures taught them and subsequently the different and rather positive attitude they have adopted towards failure.

How do you deal with failures? Do you have a specific approaches to quickly get over your failures and to continue on the road to succeed. 

These examples should help us understand the benefits of failing as well as the power of our determination to succeed, and encourage us to go on trying until we conquer our fears and thrive in our pursuits.
