Failure Is Not the End

Develop successes from failures. Discouragement and failure are two of the surest stepping stones to success – Dale Carnegie

Who said failures of today stop you from achieving success tomorrow?

No one today can boldly say they have not failed in life. Each one of us has failed at a certain point in our lives. The most successful people we read about today have gone through the worst of failures from Abraham Lincoln to our own African Billionaires Aliko Dangote and Strive Masiyiiwa.

Lesson from the Baby
Ask yourself this question when the baby was learning how to walk, did this baby you just wake up one day and started walking? The answer to this question is no, unless God worked a miracle such situations are there. From the baby we learn that for them it took constant times of failing for them to walk, have you ever asked yourself how many times a young child fells trying to walk? These are countless times each day they fail but they keep trying. Success is stumbling from failure to failure with no loss of enthusiasm.

We were once babies at some point in our lives, so eager to see the world and wanted to jump right into our futures. Today this future has brought handed to us this we can’t control time, markets, God s timing, people s reactions towards life. But today you might have failed in something you had put so much effort in. Today’s failure does not stop from achieving future successes.

Learn From Your Failures
Successful people learn from their failures- Unknown

Today learn from your failures as much as you learn from success. Learning is a continuous process that can never be avoided and learning from your failures is the greatest form of learning that can improve your life. Today is your chance to learn from failure. There are no secrets to success it is a result of preparation, hard work and learning from failure. Learning and admitting you have failed is the first step of defeating failure. After falling the down the little baby cries they eat at night and sleep. Tomorrow morning they are back on their journey of trying to walk. Till they get their goal they won’t stop.

The wisest men is not the one with the fewest failures but the ones who turns failures to best account – Richard R Grant

Lesson from Abraham Lincoln
Abraham Lincoln was the former President of The United States of America. For years Abraham Lincoln failed in his political career until he was in his 50s where he managed to be the President of The United States OF America. He got to this position but he had failed to become a member of senate or a minister but after trying for over 30 years became President. Today people speak of Abraham Lincoln not because he gave up but because he used his failures and experiences to prepare for future success. Think of it if you gave up today your great vision that was to inspire people, create employment, and make you the next prominent business person in Zimbabwe. Does that vision die because you failed today? In the words of Abraham Lincoln, “always bear in mind that your own resolution to succeed is more important than any other.” Successful people in life have failed at some time, some had business and economic conditions left them with nothing but today they are back and are making more money than ever expected.

“We are a country that celebrates people that have failed over the years and only succeed once,” these are words mention and used in a speech by one of the speakers that spoke at President Donald Trumph ‘s inauguration this is why America is great. They celebrate the light bulb inventor who a failed over a 1000 times and succeed once. You too can be celebrated if you do not give up.

Ask yourself how many times have l failed? What’s my main reason of giving up? Asking yourself these questions will make you realise that there is no reason to stop, we may be disappointed, heartbroken, manipulated by friends and family but it’s not the end of it all today is a new day and embrace success and embrace learning.

Dreams stop working unless you do. Do you want your dream to die?
