Failure is a stepping stone to success. Failure is not a person but an event. A lot of people say, “I am a failure”. How could someone make such a sweeping statement like that. Failing at something is a temporary occurrence. It does not mean one will fail at everything that life has to throw. But if someone has accepted deep within that one is a failure, that has a tremendous consequence on everything that one does.
A lot of people say that they are failures at weight loss. Why? Because they attempted weight loss once or twice or even thrice and were unsuccessful? These unsuccessful attempts probably reinforced what does not work. One could have tried a starvation diet and put all the weight back on again. One could have taken drugs and had rebound weight gain. This must just go to show what works and what does not.
What is important is that one learns very quickly from each failed attempt. As the saying goes, its insanity to keep doing the same thing and expect a different result. Its acceptable to fail but its not acceptable to keep making the same mistakes. We need to learn from our mistakes.
Here is an excellent video for anyone filling down and frustrated. It just goes to show that failure is the stepping stone to success. Everyone who has ever been successful at anything is bound to have gone through a number of failures.
