7 Failures That End Up Successful

Failure Is The First Step Towards Success

The above video had shown us some of the famous people who others had thought as failures turn out to be successful and there is one important thing that we can pick up from them.

Seeing Failure as a Result

Most of us hate to fail and we try our best to avoid it. One of the ways to avoid failure is to not take action because people think that without taking any action, there will hardly be any failure. People are fearful of failure because it gives off a very unpleasant feeling and makes us feel like we are at the bottom of the world. However the only way to achieve success in life is by going through multiple failures, learn from them, tweak your plan and take action again. Failure is part of the success equation.

Instead of thinking that failure is something negative, think of it as a result. A result that you can collect feedback that can help you to make some changes to your plan in order for you to achieve your desired results. Once we have the mindset that failure is just a result where we can collect feedback, we can obtain more information about why things do not work using the previous ways and what we can change in order to make it work.

The above diagram shows how failure (results) is included in the formula for achieving your desired results.

Parting Words

Instead of dreading failure and avoiding it, think of it as something that will bring you closer towards success. Keep on taking action and if there is some failure along the way, just learn from it and keep moving forward. As long as you know how to handle the failures in life, success will be just around the corner.

7 Failures That End Up Successful

Excuses? What are your excuses?

Excuses or results? How many times have we complained about we we are too young, too old, too poor or too tired to do something? We got such a long list of excuses to prevent ourselves from achieving what is the best for us? We are doing the damage to ourselves when we are using excuses.

So after watching the video above, what do you think? Is the guitarist above making an excuse for not playing the guitar because he is without his hands? No way, when you see the way he play. He proves to us that it is not a matter of facts, it is the matter of attitude that counts. It is how hungry you are for something that makes you strive to achieve it.

Instead of looking for excuses for why you can’t do it, what about looking for reasons that proves to you why you can do it. How many times have we seen failures that turns into success?

Michael Jordan cut from his basketball team in his sophomore years and he turns out to be the greatest basketball players of all time.
Donald Trump resurgence from bankruptcy.
Oprah Winfrey after so much ordeals ( abuse, rapes, so poor in her younger days that she wore dresses make from potato sacks ) became so successful and influential.

These are some of the examples that shows great determination and perseverance to fight against all odds to reach their goals. May their stories inspire and empower you.
