Failure is Inevitable.

Craig Allen • February 6, 2023

However, how you perceive failure determines what path you take. And here's a little secret: Failure is not a permanent state of being. It's not world-ending. Merely failure means you tried and didn't succeed, at least not during this round. 


Experience has taught us that defeat is merely a stepping stone, not an endpoint. Looking at failure in this way encourages self-reflection, as it suggests your aspirations are out of sync with who you genuinely want to be or something needs to change for successful outcomes. By recognizing the growth potential within each setback, life can continuously improve through newfound insight gained along the journey!


Step 1: Accept it.

It's easy to get down after a mistake, but remember that even the most successful people fall short once in a while. Failure happens to all of us , and it gives us an opportunity for growth if we choose to accept responsibility and use our experiences as learning tools. Don't let this setback dictate your future; allow it to motivate you on your journey towards success!


Step 2: Determine what went wrong

  • What caused you not to achieve the goal?
  • What did go well?
  • How can you improve the areas where you fell short?
  • Or an even better question: Is this a goal you want to achieve?


Taking a deep look into your goals and dreams can be an invaluable exercise in self-reflection. Analyzing the issues you faced during this round will help you to create a plan of action for future success while avoiding unhelpful feelings of blame or fault. Establishing habits that align with both where you are now and what kind of life you want could make all the difference - so take some time to get honest with yourself!


Step 3: Learn from it.

Failure offers an invaluable chance to learn and grow, providing a unique perspective on life. Rather than allowing it to stop you in your tracks, consider failure as the beginning of something new; take what's meaningful from this experience while leaving behind that which no longer serves you. Taking hold of these opportunities can unlock unimagined potential both within yourself and beyond


Step 4: Let it go.

Taking responsibility for your mistakes is essential, but ensuring you don't get bogged down in negative thoughts is just as important. Letting go of the emotions that come with failure can be hard work - like breaking a cycle and learning from experience without letting yourself fall too far into despair. Do what needs doing, learn from past missteps, and then carry on forward.


Step 5: Ask for feedback (if applicable)

Are you stuck in a rut? Ask an outsider for their insights – someone else can offer a fresh perspective you may not have seen before! Seek out the advice of your go-to people, such as colleagues, friends or family members. If it feels like we are too close to the source of our troubles, taking on another point of view could be just what is needed to move forward.


Step 6: Make a plan forward.

Having a clear sense of direction is essential for success. To ensure you reach your desired destination, break up the path into manageable chunks – create actionable items and work towards them one at a time. This will help to bring that big goal within grasp!


Step 7: Take action.

Ready to take the plunge? Don't hesitate - to get your plan in motion. Every step moves away from failure and closer to success, so don't delay! Achieving your goals requires action; motivation follows suit when you show initiative.


Don't be daunted by failure! Instead, please take it as an opportunity to learn and grow. Use life's setbacks to create a better future for yourself - don't let any obstacle stand in your way of achieving success!
