Did You Really Fail?
Failure mindset is like a parasite sucking the life giving sap of a tree and leaving it dry and dying . You can live a life of failure as well as a life of success. It is not a one day thing .You actually live it while all that people see is the big bang but the truth is that you failed in you mind long ago .
Failure is set in motion by a mindset just as success .That a project didn’t work out as you expected , doesn’t mean you are a failure . It equally means that you have learnt another way not to so that project and a new way to do something.
Sometimes the problem is that of inability to avail yourself with specific knowledge and wisdom needed for a business venture and in the process of doing it you learn the ways to it or not to do it .
Again it can be the lack of a clear cut idea of what your life purpose is all about, and therefore lack focus , concentration , perseverance, and the faith to make your goal a reality.
It can also be that of distraction whereby you are not giving the best attention to that project as required. But whatsoever is the reason it didn’t turn out as
expected , what counts is what you ’see’ that process doing for you and in you.
Do you ’see’ the process you are going through as working for your good and that you will come out better and equipped for your life purpose or a frustrating failure?
You have to be careful about being unteachable . It can be so subtly that you will swear you are not. A situation whereby you see a learning experience as an indication that you are a failure and by so doing never get to learn anything so as to better position yourself for that you are hoping for is an example of being unteachable .
A teachable spirit sees new things learnt from every experience, absorbs the information, analyzes them and makes decision for a more precise action. It is more than putting up an acceptable physical demeanour.
“Failure is a success if we learn from it”–Malcolm Forbes
I always say that I am a success . I can’t be a failure , I learn and apply knowledge .It is impossible for me to be failure. I have the wisdom for any business I get involved with . These are my confessions . Even a mistake works out for my good . I have the mindset of a victor.
Romans 8:28 says, “…..in all things God work for the good of those who love him, who have been called according to His purpose.”
Romans 8:28 says, “…..in all things God work for the good of those who love him, who have been called according to His purpose.”
This doesn’t mean that there is nothing like failing at something but that what you perceive an experience to be is what it becomes to you and that will inform your attitude towards it.
I choose to reject failure and stay positive with the living Word of God.
I have an uncle who complains bitterly about how he failed in so many business ventures, but if you stay close long enough , it is not difficult to figure out his problem. The fear of failure have gotten the hold on him so much that he sees failure always which eventually happens to him. I also found out that he doesn’t have a learning attitude and locks his mind against the impartation of wisdom.
What do you see -A knowledge packed experience or a failed experience.
Where did you learn to think that way? We can all benefit from your wisdom.
