Fail if You Must, But Do Not Become a Failure

You have failed at something, congratulations. You are one step closer to success and to your breakthrough but if you give up to the pain and rejection that comes with failing you will fall into an abyss of downward spiral with no hope of resurfacing.
The road to success is never a straight forward one; sometimes it’s so zigzagged that you will take a lot of beating before gaining the muscle and strength to carry on and to finally win.
The good thing about failure is that when you fail the world shifts attention from you and ignores you. Which gives you the opportunity to start again more intelligently and since you have nothing to prove to anyone but yourself, you are more calm with the process.
Sometimes you think the whole world is against you but the fact is that no one is really against you but everyone is for themselves, running same race but on a different lane.

Pick yourself up dust off your shoes get back on the track and keep moving forward because that’s exactly how winning is done until you get where you want to be and nobody can tell you that you’ve not earned the right to be or do what you set out to do.
Whatever area you feel inadequate in, begin to consciously work at it. If you are bankrupt and lost your job at 40, do not throw in the towel, though you may think you do not have much time but you have the experience to use to your advantage. So maintain your resolve to keep going no matter what the circumstances are around you.

Thats the secret of success.

What I found out the hard way....

Don't fail and pivot to something completely different. Fail in one area, try again and build off what you learned from that failure.

For example, if you want to go to an Ivy League school. Apply to Harvard, if you don't get in there...

Don't give up on Ivy League schools and go to a community college. Take what you learned from failing at Harvard and apply to Yale.

That's how you build a skillset and success (it's how I work for myself now).

Great write up.
