FAILURE …OUR JOURNEY THROUGH LIFE
Failure is not a Choice…our journey through life isn’t always unproblematic, as we know! Sometimes you have those moments where your dreams seem to get lost, and nothing is going quite as planned.
We all have experienced some setbacks in our lives at some point and time. I must admit that life threw setbacks that were very difficult to overcome. However, you know what they say about setbacks; they are the perfect scenario for learning.
Life lessons are to be learned, and challenges will make you stronger. For me, tough times forced me to take a good look at myself, not from someone’s standpoint. But the person that lives deep inside.
“There are moments when troubles enter our lives, and we can do nothing to avoid them. But they are there for a reason. Only when we have overcome them will we understand why they were there.” – Paulo Coelho, ‘The Fifth Mountain.’
“Children have a lesson adults should learn, to not be ashamed of failing, but to get up and try again. Most of us adults are so afraid, so cautious, so ‘safe,’ and therefore so shrinking and rigid and afraid that it is why so many humans fail. Most middle-aged adults have resigned themselves to failure.”
― The Autobiography of Malcolm X
““Children who are not encouraged to do, to try, to explore, to master, and to risk failure, often feel helpless and inadequate. Over-controlled by anxious, fearful parents, these children often become anxious and fearful themselves. This makes it difficult for them to mature. Many never outgrow the need for ongoing parental guidance and control. As a result, their parents continue to invade, manipulate, and frequently dominate their lives.”
