Thankfully, failure is a topic that has been a lot less on my mind lately. Not because I don't fail just as much as I had before, but because I have a much deeper understanding on the reasoning behind failure. We fail SO THAT we can succeed. It improves us, challenges us, and leaves us questioning how we could improve.
To overcome the thought of failing, I try to think positively even if the situation is looking negative. Many times we determined the outcome of a situation, and we can also change the outcome of our situations. Then another thing is knowing that it is okay to fail just always remember to get up and try again.
I have dislike the feeling of failure. When faced with the notion this is occurring or inevitable, I stop everything to evaluate the situation. I create an outline of what I was trying to attain or where my success was to be gained. Then, I look at the hurdles or challenges that have presented themselves. Once the deep dive has been completed, I am generally able to see a weak link in what I am doing. At that point, I readjust and realign.
Failure is a false concept. If true is to win, and false is to lose, then failure is a false concept. Failure and loss isn't real to me, in my eyes. There is only winning. I don't lose, I win. That's my job and that's exactly what I do, you cannot go up to me and say you lost, because there are only three things that can happen. You either win, learn, or die. That is all. I've learned a lot, I've won a lot, and if we were to give loss a definition, it would be to die. Losing the game of life is to die, and that's why I have never lost, nor will I lose for a long time.
I used to be very afraid of failure. I believe I still am at times. The fear for me comes more from disappointing others or not being good enough. It is upsetting when I work so hard and try my best and do not succeed. I have tried to be more easy with myself, and instead of looking at things as failures, I look at them as opportunities to learn grow and do better.
I think failure is something I have struggled with for a long time. Academically I'm a bit of a perfectionist and overachiever probably because I've always loved school and learning. Book smarts are easy for me. Life smarts not so much... I agree with the idea of staying positive and I'm constantly reminding myself to learn and grow from my mistakes, instead of letting them take me down.
Failure is an opportunity to learn, to grow and to be better. Failure is a part of life. In fact, it is an important aspect of life. It is when we learn and apply the things we have learned so far. Although failure is woven in the fabric of human existence, it doesn't mean that we should just let it consume us. We cannot let failure define us. When we face failure we might feel like we are losing but no. Failure is not permanent. We can do things to overcome it. It may be upsetting and discouraging at times but we must remember to see the good that comes out of it. I firmly believe that in every dark cloud, there is a silver lining. As long as we live, there is hope. And there is always hope in the Lord. In my case, I usually ponder and reflect on where I have gone wrong. But the most important thing is I recognize that I am not alone in facing it. I know God is constantly watching over me and the battle is not yet over. I will win. I just have to have faith and trust in Him while doing what He wants me to do.
You know what, the older you get, the more you realize that failure is the least of your concerns. You're just happy to be alive and breathing to get another chance to succeed and level up in life. Failure is never an option and should not be in anybody's vocabulary. I look at my one year old and every bad thing that happened in my life has brought me to her and I couldn't be more grateful. Life is all about timing, regardless of the times you were told no or failed a test, there is a time coming up at the right moment that will make the failed times seem like just a bad day.
I struggle with the idea of failure almost daily. Growing up my mother set higher standards for me then she did with my siblings, specifically academically. This affected me a lot. Most of these standards were unattainable this stretched me very thin. I already had so much on my plate that to try and achieve my mothers goals i was sleeping 3 hours max every night. To help overcome this i removed my mom from my academics. THis has also presented new problems but failure is less of an issue now.
For a while, I felt like the world was failing me. I felt that nothing I did was enough to satisfy the ones around me, and myself. I wouldn't say that I have completely overcome those feelings, but I will say that talking to someone helps. I began to address and talk about the things I struggled with or thought that I could do better on. I began to realize, that I am already doing more than most my age. I am in a good place and I need to be proud of what I have accomplished. While I am not where I want to be yet, I will be if I keep pushing.
I get like that often. I am a high school teacher, a mom, a student, and a wife. I work full-time, go to school full-time, and have full-time responsibilities. Also, I have Lupus. I am 42 and find that it is very hard to get everything done. I had to learn that sometimes I had to prioritize my responsibilities and that I may not get to everything. I had to learn that it is fine to not get perfect scores and that I will make mistakes. With Lupus, you can not get stressed out so I had to teach myself to not over stress myself with things that I can not control.
One thing that helps me when I face failure is to remember that failure is not a permanent state, but a temporary feedback. It tells me that something didn’t work out as I expected, but it doesn’t mean that I can’t try again or achieve my goals. Failure is an opportunity to learn from my mistakes and improve my skills and strategies.
I feel like instead of feeling like I am a failure, I struggle more with the fear of failing. It was very overwhelming in my first years of college. I had so much anxiety regarding my performance in school, and I was so worried that I wouldn't measure up to these almost unobtainable standards I set for myself. It did get better as the years went by, mainly because it was starting to affect my relationships and mental health. I decided that no grade or job that I wanted, requiring outstanding performance in academics, was worth my own mental and physical health. Since then I have been able to cope with the anxiety of possible failure, and still perform well in school.
i do think failure overcome people because when you think failure you think you failed at something and cant redeem yourself but i think to overcome yourself you can't call it or think of it as failure it can be a small hiccup that you can overcome
I’ve felt failure many times In my life and it’s something I struggle with constantly. If I don’t do good on an assignment or I feel like I let a friend down I start to feel like a failure. I try to not let those emotions take over but sometimes it’s difficult not to. Especially now being a diabetic cause me to feel like a failure at times.
I used to be very scared of failure. My low self esteem had me feel as if I was unworthy of achieving what I pursued and it was detremental to my mental health. After a few years of experience and growth, I learned to take negative experiences as a learning tool to become better as well as not taking anything to heart or letting it define me. I would be really hard on myself because I thought I had to be perfect, but obviously that was an unrealistic standard that I no longer pursue. Now, I just strive to become a better version of myself and that itself is fulfilling.
