Failure

How do I look at failure?
We have been told that it can either be a thing that teaches you something or it can be something you run from and avoid which inevitably causes us to miss opportunities.

But justification must be mentioned in this thought because it plays such a huge role. If I continuously fail that's fine, but what if I am failing because I am not putting the correct amount of effort in to achieve my goals? What if I am failing because I am doing things that are in my control to ruin my opportunity to live the life I desire.

If I study for a test, If I attend the appropriate labs and study sessions, and I still fail that is a message that I need to either try and approach this problem at a different angle or if after I have exhausted that method and still fall short I need to reassess if this is my true calling.

But if I am failing because of my commitment issues or my issues in my routines I have to understand that seeing failure as a thing that teaches me without applying what I have been taught to my next attempt then nothing will work.

This seems simple when I write it down but justification is something that happens almost subconsciously. So I have to stay vigilant, especially because I am prone to justify my way into a hole I cannot get out of.

This is a new segment I am trying which will either be in this form or a video.


Thanks for the read!!!
