Why you should not avoid failure?

Failure is something we can’t really run away from. So, if we can’t avoid it, we should not even try to avoid it. Because trying to avoid failure is like turning your back to real issues that keeps causing problems. So, instead of running away, we should learn how to be braver towards failure.

Trying to avoid failure would be the biggest mistake you would ever do

Failure happens, when we try to do something for a purpose and get a result that is opposite to our expectations. When we get that unexpected result, we try it again and again until we get it right. If we try to avoid failure, we don’t get the motivation to try again. Basically, we avoid trying new things, we avoid making brave decisions, and we avoid working hard.

Failure is a teacher that teaches more valuable lessons

Only if you try to learn from it. You need to face failure with a brave face and ask yourself, why did I get this outcome? What actions brought me here? What can I do differently next time? Answering these questions honestly, will bring you the results that you wanted.

Success = Failure + Determination + Action

If you break down the journey towards success, you will see that there a lot of failures on that trip. However, determination prevents us from giving up and forces us to carry on taking actions. Barack Obama said it well;

“Making your mark on the world is hard. If it were easy, everybody would do it. But it’s not. It takes patience, it takes commitment, and it comes with plenty of failure along the way. The real test is not whether you avoid this failure, because you won’t. it’s whether you let it harden or shame you into inaction, or whether you learn from it; whether you choose to persevere”.

Thank god my baby son loves failure

If you want to learn determination, you can learn a lot from babies. They don’t care if the coffee cup is hot or not. They go for it. They don’t care what is in the draws; they try their hardest to explore what is inside. They don’t care if it hurts their knees or not, they are determent to crawl to the things they want. They don’t care if they would fall again, they are determined enough to walk.

Failure is an option

Of course none of us choose to fail deliberately. We can choose to be determent and try to rise above failure. We should expect that failures will happen. In these situations, you need to remember the following quotation; “Winners never quit, quitters never win”. Winners don’t avoid failure, they overcome failure.

Instead of avoiding failure, try to figure out the way. Analyze the actions you took, that resulted in failure. Try your hardest to find alternative ways, which will bring you success eventually.
