How To Handle Failure Effectively

Hey lovelies ❤️
It's your favorite girl @debbie-ese 😍
Welcome to my blog 🤗

Failure can be so painful. It hurts so bad that you do not feel like you're ever going to be able to make it again. The failure of the relationship that you've invested so much in especially your time and emotions. The failure of not promoted at work after having served diligently for several years. The failure of not succeeding at your business even though you have spent all your resources on ensuring it thrives. The failures we face in life can leave us frustrated and depressed if not well handled.

But, the fact is that failure should not stop you from living the life that you dream of rather it should propel you to thinking outside the box and trying new things. It is during the failure phase that you should find out the reason for failing and learn the best methods to be successful. There is a special feeling of fulfilment and satisfaction that come with be armed with the tools of executing a task especially when it comes from past experience.

In life, sometimes success may not come easily but when the right tool is employed you will easily attain that which seems to be difficult. Just last year, I saw myself as a failure and it felt like it was the end of the world for me when my fashion workshop was burgled. The burglers carted away with all my sewing machines, weaving machines and even some customer’s fabrics. I was broken and empty because i didn't have anything to work with. I was filled with fear of how to survive without a job and so nuch more. But i was able to overcome the setbacks.

Just the same way so many inventors failed woefully before they finally came up with their inventions. The cars we drive today weren't produced on the first trial. The bulb we use in our houses and places of work weren't produced with just one trial. In other words, failure and setbacks offer an opportunity for improvement and growth. No matter the number of times you've failed to be promoted or failed in your relationship,always have a positive mindset rather than letting negative thoughts eat you up.

My Pastor once emphasised on the need of postive affirmations in one of his sermons. He said you can't have a negative mindset towards something and expect something positive to come out from it. He made an instance of how people talk badly about their country because of bad leadership. Some go as far as cursing the country. So, you don't expect to be successful in a country that you have cursed rather you must be positive at all times to be able to enjoy the fruits of the land. This means you should embrace positivity at all times - instead of giving up, try again one more time.
