Hello Everyone, Welcome to my Blog.
The fear of Failure is one obstacle that has hindered a lot of people from making progress in life. A lot of people have good and great plans that might make them become successful but they are afraid to go ahead with it because of the fear that they might fail. Hence people who do not know how to handle failures in their lives have made up their minds against trying out new things.
Failure is one experience one must have in his/her life time on earth. No one can take it away. Anyone who is now very successful today once had a story of failure. So, everyone scared about failure should better get ready to try out new things and stop being afraid of failure because failure is inevitable. Failure is one of the ways of achieving great success, funny enough when people experience failure instead of bracing up, learning from their failures and finding out the possible way to succeed they either get depressed and give up.
Personally, I have taken a decision of trying out new things and I failed terribly. At first, I was not able to handle it I was so depressed. The mistake had to do with a line of business I ventured in without proper investigation it was not a funny experience I felt like I want to kill myself because I have never taken such a huge decision before so it was really a hard one for me. But when I told it to my mentor, he told me yes that failure is certain since its my first time indulging in such project. So instead of giving up like I wanted to do, I braced up, learned from the failure and stepped up and today it is becoming a success.
Probably if I did not have someone to encourage me, I believe I would have run away from my failure and I would never want to try out any new thing again. So, Failure comes as a result of lack of information about a thing, unpreparedness about the tasks to undertake just like me, I just ventured into a thing I was not even prepared for the losses accompanied with it but I was only concerned about the gains, lack of resources like money can also contribute to failure, then finally lack of proper advice like in my case if I never spoke to my mentor for him to advise me right then I would have never been successful in that . whatever reason it might be, failure should not make a person give up but should be a reason to put more effort and try harder. Success is only for those who did not give up even in their failures.
However, a lot of people tend to do a lot of crazy things when they encounter failure because of their inability to handle failure. This action ranges from suicides, depression, sadness and many emotional traumas.
First, we should admit that before most people become successful, they must have encountered failure. With this mindset you will help overcome the trauma that comes with failure. So don’t be in a hurry to tag yourself a failure because you tried something and failed in it. You are only a failure if you run away from your mistakes instead get up and learn from the failure thereby tackling the problem and becoming successful.
Second, Before you can effectively handle failure you must surround yourself with people or mentor that can help advise you rightly. With the right information, you will be able to handle the trauma that comes with failure. Like in my case if I never spoke of the issue with my mentor, I would have encountered sever emotional trauma that I would have never recovered from and the success I attained would have never been reached. So, if you encounter failure don’t be silent speak out so that you can be advised rightly.
