Many of us consider failure to be a deep embarassment. Most probably a dirty little secret preferably not to be discussed.
And very often we believe that losing one’s job or, not getting a bonus and not getting that promotion are in themselves great failures.
The fact is if you think you failed as a person then you will label yourself as a failure and generalise this “tag” to a broad range of situations. You will experience and feel hopelessness. And if you think your failure is due to something internal – your abilities, for instance – then you’re more likely to be depressed as well.
“Failure is not a permanent condition.”
Failure is a judgement on about events. Failure is not a condemnation of character. And is not a permanent condition. All of us constantly re-interprete our failures. We blame other people and external events for our failures. We do not look back to see what part we ourselves may have played.
“Failure is a function of growth and changing enviroment.”
Each failure is specific. It is important to fail and important to give our children permission to fail – by giving our children an opportunity to survive defeat – and to make them tougher and more resilent to face the challenges of the future.
The point is get rid of your fear. Dare to fail. And dare to bounce back from failure ………….. !!!
