But there is light at the end of the tunnel. Although I went through some rough times in my
life, failure always taught me that there is no beauty without struggle. And I learned who my
real friends were after each successive failure. Somehow, failing acts as a filter, so to
speak, for false friends.
Sadly enough, when you are on the top ladder of success, everyone wants to be around
you. But, when you fail, most of those so-called friends run and disappear into thin air. You
feel betrayed. Yet, real friends care about you, not because of how successful you are, but
because of who you are. Therefore, true friends will be there for you no matter what.
Failure Leads to Success
You and I are living in an instant gratification society. Most people want things, and they
want them right now. Often, they act like children because their mind behaves on the
pleasure principle.
But, when failure comes your way, you start to realize that, good things, do not happen or
come overnight.
And so, you have to work to achieve your dreams and realize your goals. The only problem
with that is that when goals are new, they are exciting. But after some time, the grind and
the routine become far more real. It gets hard, and you get bored, tired, fed up, and you
return to your old ways. And then you feel like a failure again.
However, when you can overcome that natural tendency, it is when the magic begins to
happen. Not right away, but in time along the trust in the process. It is but a natural
progression. The more times you experience failure, the more you become passionate
about your mission or calling. It then becomes far more real and concrete.
Never a Failure Always a Lesson
So, failure is only considered as a failure when you quit. My advice to you is never to give
up. And it is so true that when you believe deeply enough in yourself, you can succeed.
Thus, learn never to give up, no matter what the situation or what others think.
In fact, no matter how many times people despise you, laugh at you, walk all over you, or
just ignore you, keep pushing forward. And it does not matter if you progress just a little or
make a small step each day. In the end what matters is that you make some progress at all.
Just do not ever stop!
As a result, you grow to be so passionate about what you are doing that you can just taste
success coming your way. So if failure touches you in any way, remind yourself that it is not
the end but a new beginning. The lesson here is the chance to pick yourself back up again
and try again until you reach your desires.
