The Importance of Failure!





Failure may seem like a bad at first, but there is some good that comes from every experience. Through observation of the most successful people you will find there were several trials and errors along the way to their high achievements. Artist, inventors, sports figures, and even writers had many failures before they acheived success. Therefore, one must learn how to handle the failures in life in order to achieve the larger goals. Here are a couple points to keep in mind when you reach a failing point in your life:


Never be afraid of failure, welcome it.
 Fail as early in life as you can this way you can apply those lessons as you move forward.  If you learn from your failures early on then you will know exactly how to succeed when the moment appears.

Aim for a goal that is your passion 
Instead of failing to obtain objectives that do not truly interest you aim for something you actually care about. It often takes a moment when our confident is "shaken" that we begin to rethink whether we should change careers. Know from the beginning what you are meant to do! (If you have not found your passion then refer to my first blog on How to Find your Passion).

Learn how to respond to failure! 
At first you might feel hurt or disappointed that you did not achieve your goal. However, this is your chance to decide where you would like to go from here. You can either quit or come back stronger in the next round.

You will grow from failure!
From every misstep you have had in life you can always reflect and write down things that you have learned. The one who can quickly learn from failure and bounce back will achieve success much faster than most.

Learn from your mistakes and write down how you plan to improve yourself. Do not just bounce back, but come back better than when you first started. Come back with a vengeance that no one around can compare to. This is how you achieve success and acquire the goals you seek.


I hope this is helpful in your understanding of why failure is important and ways you can respond. Failure does not mean that the opportunity is gone, it just means that you have the ability to respond quickly and better than before. If you never give up then your success is almost guaranteed!

Whether it's to lose 20 lbs, eat healthier, or become a better person, the New Year is an opportunity to improve your character and physical appearance for self benefit.  Below are things to keep in mind when considering your New Year's  resolutions.

1. Be realistic! Understand that you must be able to achieve your goals. Try not to set a goal that may be difficult without the proper resources, take small steps. 
 
2. Stay Focused. The reality is that January 1st is just another day.  Ensure you are willing to keep going if you mess up for one or two weeks. Remember you can always start fresh in March or even February.  Never turn your focus away from your goals.  


3. Rely on yourself before others! It's always good to have support from family and friends but remember the action must start with you. Sometimes you have to rely on pure will-power to achieve your goals. Keep pushing when no one else is around to hold you up. 


4. Help your friends keep their resolution! By pushing your friends to achieve their goals then it will give you encouragement to keep moving forward on your own.  

5. Become a better human being. Your New Year's resolution should help you to become better person and not to impress other people or fit a certain mold.

6. Read. Always strive to attain knowledge. You will learn the most by reading books and learning new information. 

7. Remain positive when you aim to achieve your goals. This is the key to achieving anything you set for yourself. Never let a small amount disappointment stop you from your purpose.



New Year's Resolution Examples:
-Start taking Yoga (Join a small YMCA class or watch YouTube videos)
-Meditate at least 30 minutes a day (Keeps the mind clear of negative energy)
-Eat healthier so that you can elongate your life (You will feel better internally if you rid your body of unhealthy toxins) 
-Get (a specific amount) of exercise each week.
-Try something new/step out of your comfort zone at least once a month. 
-Don't use a credit card for things you want only for things you need.   

These are just a few things to keep in my as you go about your year. Remember that everything you do is up to you.
