Failure Is A Learning Experience

Failure is what you think it is. You cannot be successful without first embracing failure. You cannot be successful without understanding what failure really means.

The difference between successful people and unsuccessful people is how they think about about failure.

What does failure mean to you?

Whether you like to fail or not, failure is a great master. It is part of who we are. Failure has something to teach you. Open your mind to receive the gift of failure. People fail not because they are not smart enough, but because they fail to embrace failure. They fail to accept failure as part of life.

Failure is not the end of life, it is the beginning of life.”

If you want to be successful in life, don’t be afraid to fail. Embrace failure, learn from it, and make your next move. When you fall down, you are not a failure. When you fall down and you stayed there, then you are a failure. I hope you are not.

“Failure is not the issue, the issue is how you receive failure.”

When you fail, be happy. I know this is hard to take in, but it is true. No matter what, don’t let failure stop you from moving forward. Failure is not the issue, the issue is how you receive failure. You will fail at something. We have all failed at something, and we will continue to fail. That is failing forward.

Failure is not the end of life, it is the beginning of life. It gives you time to prepare and launch again. This time you are a different person pursuing the same goal. Don’t let failure stops you. It is a learning experience. Learn from it!

Imperfection

If you want to be perfect in life before you do something, you are going to wait for ever. It is not going to happen. No one is perfect. You don’t have to be perfect before you start something. You have to start to be perfect. If you don’t start, how can you be perfect?

If you start today, you will be perfect tomorrow. If you don’t start today, you will be imperfect tomorrow. I have never seen anyone who mastered something before they start. They start to master it.

You won’t be perfect every day, and when you stop trying to be perfect, you’ll end up better in the long run.”- Lindsey Pollak, the author of Becoming the Boss

To do great things in life, focus on what you can do. Don’t focus on what you cannot do. If you do, it will suck up your energy. Focus on what you can do well, and use it to your benefit. People don’t do something because they focus on their flaws. They focus on their weaknesses, on their flaws, on their mistakes, or on their disappointments. If you focus on your imperfection, you are killing your creativity. To be creative, you have to allow yourself to make mistakes, to be imperfect, and to be who you are.

You don’t have to be perfect before you start something. You have to start to be perfect.”

If you want to be perfect, don’t see your imperfection as a problem. See it as a chance to get better at what you do. Nobody is perfect.
