Failures Pave the Way to Ultimate Success in Life

“Every adversity, every failure, every heartache carries with it the seed of an equal or greater benefit.” – Napoleon Hill

In life, when you want to build a successful life for yourself, a few failures are inevitable. But a man should not stop at these temporary setbacks. Something good always comes out of these failures – an experience, know-how, or a lesson. This fresh learning will lead to ultimate success from where you will not look back. 

Look around in the society, it is full of such examples, wherein someone touched a great low in life- not once, twice, or thrice but many times- but they fought back each time and achieved great success ultimately. 

Mahatma Gandhi, Dr. A.P.J. Abdul Kalam, Sachin Tendulkar, Albert Einstein-just to name a few who failed in their initial attempts in their respective fields but persevered and achieved great success.

In fact, any failure does not mean the end of life, rather it means, you should find a different path and move fearlessly ahead. Failures are but the stepping stones of success! 

This is how-

You Attempt for Something New Out of Your Comfort Zone and Learn

You learn, grow, and thrive when you fail because now you are out of your comfort zone. You gain a new perspective on the world around you through fresh challenges. In fact, from adolescence to adulthood, failure has been the master teacher in all aspects. Don’t be afraid to fail in one or other endeavor, stay focussed and you will taste the sweetness of success for sure.

You Get a Life Built Upon Experience

The firsthand experience after failure helps you in developing a deeper understanding of life. An obstacle totally changes your mental attitude through the induction of discomfort. You reflect on the original nature of things which totally transforms your future-selves.

You Develop a Fresh Insight

Failure brings with it an ‘immediate knowledge’ and nothing can substitute this knowledge. A future built with the bricks of such profound knowledge will surely be a wonderful future. Now you can tackle your life’s issues with fresh insight, and give it a real push. You feel more accomplished as now you know something that you never knew.

You Start Believing in a Higher Power

Failure makes you look to a higher power that exists for sure. Humans are interconnected through a spiritual fiber. When in times of distress you look for some help, you turn to God, and you pray with deep emotion. God sends help to you through fellow men.  And this is when you realize that no matter how big your problems are, God is bigger than your problems. 

So never be disillusioned, rather build resilience through it and bounce back.  Understand that it is alright to fail, but it is not alright to give up.  Have clear and concrete goals and stay focussed on them. Do not change your ideals and aims, instead change the way you can achieve them. Live life like a brave soul, facing all challenges that may cross your path with the faith that God is with you at all times.
