Embracing Failure: A Journey toward Success.



In our quest for success, it is inevitable that we will encounter failure along the way. Despite being scared of failure, it is essential to embrace it as a stepping stone on our path to greatness. Failure shapes us, teaches us valuable lessons, and reveals our true potential. Just like a phoenix rising from the ashes, we can learn to overcome our fear of failure and unlock the doors to success.



Understand the Fear:



They say that the fear of failure is like a heavy backpack weighing us down. This fear creeps in, dampening our enthusiasm, and holding us back from pursuing our dreams. It is crucial to recognize that failure is not a sign of weakness, but a natural and necessary part of growth. 


"I have not failed. I've just found 10,000 ways that won't work." ~Thomas Edison




Reframe the Failure:

To overcome the scare of failure, we must reframe our perspective. Think of failure as a detour rather than a dead-end. Just as a roadblock redirects us onto a new path, failure presents an opportunity for growth and innovation. 


"It is impossible to live without failing at something unless you live so cautiously that you might as well not have lived at all." ~J.K. Rowling




Learn from the  Failure:

Instead of viewing failure as a setback, we can learn to view it as a valuable teacher. Failure helps us refine our strategies, identify our weaknesses, and fuel our determination.  


"I've missed more than 9,000 shots. I've lost almost 300 games. Twenty-six times, I've been trusted to take the game-winning shot and missed. I've failed over and over and over again in my life. And that is why I succeed. ~"Michael Jordan


Cultivate Resilience:

Resilience is the key to surviving the scare of failure. Just like a tree that bends with the wind but never breaks, we must bounce back from failures and keep going. Remember, failure is not an indication of your worth, but rather an opportunity to develop grit and determination. 


"Success consists of going from failure to failure without loss of enthusiasm." ~Winston Churchill



Celebrate Small Victories:



To overcome the fear of failure, it is essential to celebrate even the smallest victories along the way. Each step forward, regardless of size, brings us closer to success. Appreciate the progress you make and acknowledge that success comes through gradual improvement.  


"If you can't fly, then run. If you can't run, then walk. If you can't walk, then crawl. But whatever you do, keep moving forward." ~Martin Luther King Jr






Surviving the scare of failure is a transformative journey that allows us to embrace vulnerability, learn from our mistakes, and ultimately achieve success. As we shed our fear and redefine failure, we discover our true selves. Remember, failure is not a destination but merely a stop on the road to greatness.

BLEEDING OF THE MIND

  The worst form of injury to have is an internal bleeding. When someone has a fall, after checking for a broken bone or ruptured body part, doctors check for internal bleeding because it's as deadly as any deadly injury you can think of. Doctors being wary of the implications of an internal bleeding recommend multiple scans to be sure there is none. Bleeding  of the mind does not just occur, it is triggered by  the traumatic experiences you've  had in life, the harsh events that you've been subjected to, you have had damaged mental vessels, disfigured  thinking patterns, broken emotional lines; vessels that have become ruptured due to the twist and turn of life thereby leaving you with heavy bleeding inside. This bleeding of the mind is most times caused by betrayal, rejection, setups, repeated  failures and all that. As opposed to surface bleeding, bleeding of the mind is not visible. Most times even the victim is not aware of it. Signs that you are exper...
