Life After Failure.
Upshots:
1. You can keep on knocking the same door for years and get nothing.
2. Or, you can change the door and get success much quicker.
3. If one door shuts hundred other open.
4. Failure is a part of life, not life.
Before starting this article let me remind you that failure is just a part of life, not life itself. Don't let failure occupy from minor to a major part of your life. Don't let it determine what you decide. Don't let it influence how you think. This entire article is based on how to be a resilient warrior who can face a failure, learn from it, and redirect their stance towards their goals.
Failure can be defined as failing your entrance exam in an ideal institute, by the way that’s the reason I was inspired to make this post. Failure can be a rejection of an idea pitched to the management. Failure can be failing in a relationship or even can be a numerical loss.

But in all of those situations just try to evaluate the damage failure itself caused to your life and the damage you are causing in grief. Viewing things rationally, a failure has very less potential as compared to the span of life, but our grief, regret, and pain strengthen it to determine our future. We act abnormally and try to welcome depression, and that’s what I didn’t do.
It was my fourth time appearing in the same entrance exam and always lacking behind just by 2-3 numbers from meeting the criteria. After wasting more than PKR20000, I came to a conclusion that I should identify the ultimate destination, Which was to a successful career in the commercial industry, and I relied on just one door to it, and the door keeps on closing. Now when I finally decided to look around and skip this entrance, I can figure out multiple paths to same successful career that I ignored for the past years.
It was easy when instead of stressing on the existence of problems and failures in life, I acknowledged that these are the constants in life. The real essence is in acknowledging them and solving or substituting them with another success attribute.?
Lesson from this entire era, I realized that in entire span my focus was locked to the pursuit instead of the goal. We often lose our aim in sight and back off just due to the hurdles in the way. However, ultimate destination is yet to be achieved.
I hope this article and the video linked above might help you get out of a stressed zone you are in, and can motivate you to redirect your energy towards your goals. Remember until we are alive, failures, problem, and struggles are a part of our life.
