Embrace Failure and You’ll Embrace Life !
So how do you embrace life ?
There will be ups and downs in life but the most important thing about about living it.. is to GET UP.
It is how we all grow as a person… like a baby who falls but continues to get up and walk… eventually… he/she will be able to achieve that feat.
So a lot of times… when I look at the people around me.. it makes me kind of wonder… what happens to that “never say die” attitude that we possess when we were young ?
Is it because of the way we were taught to never embrace failure as we grew up as a kid ? That failure should never be in our library… which eventually cultivate into us… a sense of fear to fail what we do…
As a student… tests… exams… those were a start… followed by courtship… and… well… starting a business (maybe)..
So… as humans… we naturally shun failure as we get older… which ultimately doomed our growth…
Although it seems like the many circumstances that results in our decision to avoid failure… one such as financial, family and even commitments… but do note that all these are just reasons that one cooks up to avoid or rather… convince himself from taking the plunge.
Simply to say… if you are comfortable doing what you are doing… then… what purpose is there or rather.. what else are there to look for in life ?
No.. I am not asking you to start a business like I did.. or join any multi level marketing just to get rich and all.
If you have a dream to start a business f your own.. by all means… DO IT !
Sure… you will have failures… and many along the way.. but at least.. you know.. you are fighting for what you belief in… you are fighting for what your life is all about… your dream !
Even if you never intend to start a business… even your everyday lives command you to take the plunge of failure in order to become better…
For example:
1) Taking up projects and leadership roles – Well… whose name do you think will come out on the next promotion board ?
2) Calling and asking the girl you secretly admire – What have you got to lose ? You may be even more confident the next time round asking for numbers… or rather.. at least now she has taken notice of you…
Many a times… we embrace failure on things that we really want or desire… like learning how to drive or swim or even riding a bicycle. We crash, stall our engines… can’t float.. but as we get used to the techniques and our mistake… it becomes a natural.
So… chances are… you’re likely to do well once you are willing to take the plunge. Even if you fail… you’ll grow from your mistake and will come back so much stronger…
The moment you start doing something comfortable… you know you have reach your pleateu… and its time to take it to the next level…
