Straightaway I can tell you failure is not your enemy. Your real enemy is the FEAR of failure. Know the difference.
But when I took my studies for granted in my first year at Uni, I failed two courses!! Voila! I got the shock of my life. Failing whipped my senses back to line. My response? I sat up and I got my reading mojo back and I graduated with honours.
You only remain a failure if you tell yourself you are a failure. When I fail, I tell myself I can succeed and I get back to trying again.
Giving up is the evidence you are a failure. As long as you KEEP TRYING, you are not a failure.
Failing at your marriage, your studies, going bankrupt, losing your children does not make you a failure, because you can have another go at anything and succeed.
When I went back to school decades later for my masters degree program, I failed an Accounting course. What struck me was the fact I did not realize, I did not know the basics of the course. I thought I did.
My response was to find an undergraduate Business student who I was told had a good understanding of Accounting. She taught me the basics and I grasped it well in a few sessions than what the lecturer taught me in a whole term. When I did a resit exam, I passed it. And I felt so fulfilled at overcoming such a huge challenge.
As an author, I'm not afraid to fail. As a result, I keep pushing boundaries. I often set my romance stories in countries I have never visited and my characters have jobs I know nothing about at the start. These days, you can learn anything by clicking a button to take you to the internet.
I only recently learned that Albert Einstein was such a slow learner, that it was suggested he switched studies from Physics to some other topics. Yet today, he is considered the father of atomic age.
7 TIPS
1. Take RISKS.
2. When you FAIL, it is not time to QUIT.
3. Failure is a BRIDGE to SUCCESS.
4. When you succeed, nobody worries about your failures.
5. Don't consider failing, your final destination, only a start to success.
6. Failure is not fatal, you can always begin again.
7. Believe me, you can overcome any challenge - distress, poverty, persecution, famine, nakedness, danger, hatred, heartbreak, financial meltdown, tribulation, divorce - through prayer, patience, kindness and by simply trying again.
"A righteous man may fall seven times and rise again." ~ Proverbs 24:16.
In summary, my word to you is, DON'T BE AFRAID OF FAILURE.
