Failure is one thing many people around the world despite and don't wish to experience in any aspect of their lives, as they believe it's bad and not good for them and their life journey. But is that really the case? Is failure indeed all shades of bad and one thing we must run away from because of wanting to always win? In my own personal opinion, I believe failure is part of our life journey and an integral part for that matter; it gives us lots of benefits that shape our lives in the right direction on the condition that we handle it well.
Take for instance when you fail, you've gained valuable experience about that particular thing you failed in, and you can take that experience as a lesson that guides your decision the next time you want to walk the same path. Like I said earlier, how we handle failure is what will determine how I'll live and that situation will turn out to be. Someone who sees failure as the end of the world and opts to stop trying will definitely experience stagnation or drawbacks, but the person who learns from the previous experience and goes on to use that to guide their future decisions will thrive because they've learned a lesson from failure and build their resilience to face future challenges.
Failure is an opportunity to learn, an opportunity to pause, take a break, think and retract our steps towards refining our lives towards the path where we desire. Even though failure isn't palatable, we must understand that it's not the end of the world; a lot of people who invented great innovative devices failed multiple times, and it's the desire to keep trying despite failing that helped them achieve their goals, we ourselves must learn from that and not give in to failure.
Arsenal Football Club winning the Premier League is a typical example of never giving up despite failing. We've seen their team fail three consecutive times, but that didn't deter them from trying over and over again. Now look where it gets them; they're the champions of the league, silencing all their haters and putting a smile on the faces of their family. After twenty-two years of failure, they finally lifted the EPL. Are you dealing with failure in any aspects of your life? Don't give up; keep trying. Your day will soon come, and you'll rejoice.
