How Do You See Failure?
The dictionary definition of failure is lack of success.?
If to go by this meaning, it does not imply that success cannot come, but rather the lack of it at the time. It can come in the future.?
So, don't see failure as an irreversible situation.?
It is a sign that you should do more, review your strategy, and seek help from those who know better than you in the field.?
Failure is not the end but a stepping stone to success.?
Many successful people you can reference in the world today have met failure at different points in their lives.?
Below are some of them:?
1. Oprah Winfrey - She was fired from her job as a news anchor because she was "unfit for television," but went on to become one of the most successful talk show hosts and media moguls in the world.
2. Steve Jobs - He was ousted from Apple, the company he co-founded, but came back to lead it to unprecedented success.
3. J.K. Rowling - She was a single mother struggling to make ends meet before she became the author of the massively successful Harry Potter series.
4. Michael Jordan - He was cut from his high school basketball but went on to become one of the greatest basketball players of all time.

5. Thomas Edison - He failed over 1,000 times before finally creating the first successful light bulb and went on to become one of the most prolific inventors in history.
So, if you do not get what you want, don't tag it as a failure.
Rather, ask what should I do? Has anybody faced this kind of situation before? What did they do??
Your honest answer to the above questions will help seek solutions.?
?? The difference between you and them is the mindset.?
?? They have a growth mindset which sees failure as a challenge and not a big problem. They face their failure headlong and get results.?
?? Failure creates an opportunity for you to learn, adapt, and keep moving forward.?
?? Failure is telling you, hey, you can do better. It is not saying you are not good enough.?
?? Failure pushes you to activate your hidden potential.?
?? Acknowledge failure but don't dwell on it.?
Have a success-driven week.
