“Failure is the first step towards success” is one of the most used, quoted and publicized  quotes and often told to many of us in many different stages of life ,but is somwtimes difficult to follow its mantra.  Sometimes we want all the “success” but don’t want to experience the hard work, pain and in many cases Failure that’s comes before success.  Almost everything in life requires to learn or try something that you have never done before. That’s why mistakes, mishaps and failure often times happens when we decide to go after our goals and dreams. This relates to anything in life whether you are trying to better yourself by reading more, starting a new workout routine or even starting a business. Needless to say to have success in anything we have to keep in mind that we may (will) fail sometimes.

What is Failure? 

Trial and Error are usually the best way to find out what works and what doesn’t work. It is the means of solving life’s problems in a sense. Yet many people are afraid to undertake the trial because they’re too fearful of experiencing the mistake. They make the mishap of believing that all errors are wrong and harmful, when most of the time they are both helpful and necessary. Error provides the feedback that points the way to success. Only error pushes people to put together a new and better trial, leading through yet more errors and trials until they can ultimately find a viable and creative solution. To meet with an error is not to fail, but to take one more step on the path to final success. No errors means no successes either.

What Can We Learn From Failure 

The only way we can learn from failure is when we have been through it. When we know what we did wrong in the first place, when we have tried every known way that’s exactly when it will dawn on us the right way to get up. Success depends on us if we have fallen time after time, it’s time to build a different strategy for getting up then try again. Most people can’t  and won’t succeed because they don’t want to get up after they have failed. May people have a serious misconception when it comes to “failure” because they put negative labels on failure. It’s important to understand that any time you fail at something, whether it’s minor or major you have to believe you are one step closer to success.

Final Thoughts 

Forget about the consequences of failure. Failure is only a temporary change in direction to set you straight for your next success. So just go ahead and don’t let these meaningful falls get on your nerves! Adopt the “Never Give Up” mentality even through this may seem cliché it really can change your outlook towards failure.
