Nursing a strange fight
What is strange?
Have you ever wondered over the years and asked yourself countless times why,what, when and even how. Being confused about how you and could ever achieve those goals set based on many statistical tools set in place, yet all manners of thoughtless and useless reasons keeps many abased to in one static point, whereas, the thoughts of loss or missed opportunities keeps hunting us.
Failure, failure and even much more failures have been isolated by so called reasonable folks to be in the negative zone. While a few reject this fact many, with open hands embrace this school of thought. The strangest thing that has ever happened to us here on this planet earth remains "failure".
Thousands of episodes of tones of all manners of classifying failure. But is failure really strange. Pathetic right, men who defined failure did from their own point of view and experience gathered over the years. Take for instance, forty percent score in a text is failure whatsoever, whereas, a 90 percent is not just a pass but an excellent performance.
The bitter truth remains that "no success is success enough to stand independent of failures". I was once asked what success and failure meant to me, and my reply was kept simple using two words; To me success means "brain dead" while failure means "a state of coma"**. It is definitely obvious that success would drive you into brain death( i.e. puts you in an hanging position void of anything different or new) sooner or later, whereas, failures could drive one into a neutral state where your decisions alone without external influences against your will and thoughts could revive you if you remain consistent.
What causes failure?
Inasmuch as failure remains strange and on the negative side to many, hence, success can't be achieved and even if achieved or attained it might not be consistently sustained. Our predecessors graded success on just one scale "Comparison" and if we continue to stick to Comparison then we can't get different result other than failure. Take for instance, the first principle of failure in football games is when you are not fit or the right form for your match. You must be in form and shape in all cades, such as health wise, Physically and infact, psychologically. During this training section and display of your failures would your technical team relay to your coach suggestions about what is best for you and the team.
Each individual failures worked upon builds uniqueness and sets up a group work in the team, such as knowing when and why they would be on the offensive or defensive, irrespective of skills and individualism. Years ago, I saw a football coach salute his team after a massive loss, I expected blames just like what many football fans would do on various social media platforms and handles. He saw the uniqueness of the players and their team spirit irrespective of their massive loss. He ended with this statement" we would play better next match till this league ends, till we bring the cup, it would just cost us all extra time and sleepless nights". To my surprise the team Manchester city won the premier league title that same year while their opponents that set a massive defeat record against them narrowly missed the top four and could not qualify for the champions league.
Sincerely, in the champions league only failures who are ready to do better if given access to inputting their own best do qualify. Size and strength doesn't always matter, your own experiences can determine what you would surely become. Yes, it is important to delete Comparing oneself with other people or setting success as a standard to gauge what you failures looked like. The earth constantly revolves as newer versions of many areas of life are evolving. The more you revolve in failures sometimes the more you evolve into a better version of your own success. Work on who you really are not on what people think you are.
Nursing a strange fight
As a diligent reader am sure this posed a question in your mind. Nursing a strange a fight, against what?. Definitely against failure. Don't call failures "what you think" or "what people are sure it really is", but what you truly desire it to be.
Success is just an art comprising of failures, see every mistake and failures as a style to reflect a better version of fashion.
You have got to nurse your failures to fight for constant success. I once taught a class all boys and a girl. The whole class told her to choose cooking competition, she came to me in private and said " I would like to compete in football" even though, she wasn't looking it, I gave her a chance,
She struggled so hard but never quitted her training sections. Awful enough she was the only one who scored her penalty kicks twice against the college's best goal keeper, her class qualified because she defined her own success. Today many famales in that school have shown interest.
You never can tell how your experience with nursing failures can successfully impact so many in the future just give yourself time to learn more about yourself and who you are to be able to become what you really want to be. Nurse that fight against failure and bring out many unique episodes of success.
I have got a simple question for us. Solve this riddle;
I am something only one in a million persons nurse a strange fight against me, what am I?
Remember to nurse your failure so it will eventually metamorphose to success just like a butterfly emerges from a caterpillar
