HOW TO PICK YOURSELF UP FROM FAILURE IN LIFE

By Matata M.

Everyone who has lived in this world has ever failed at one time in life and if you have never faced failure in your life then you have not actually done anything in this life. We all face different kinds of failure in life.

 You might have failed in school or you might be going through a failed relationship and may be your business has filed for bankrupt but that is not actually what does matter.

 The most important question you should be asking yourself right now is how do you actually rise out of the failure that you have faced and move towards the world of success and achievement that you have always dreamt of achieving.

 There is one entrepreneur who is called Mark Cuban who said that it doesn’t matter how many times you fail in life, you only have to be right once. 

So for an entrepreneur out there who is going through lots of failure in business, it does not matter how many times you fail, you only have to right once. Some of the most successful people in business today failed at first. 

Did you know that Bill Gates, who is the founder of Microsoft, faced failure before becoming successful with Microsoft? His first company was called TraffoData and it failed but he picked himself up and started working on a new software company called Microsoft which today is worth very many billions of dollars making him one of the richest people in the world. 

Today, I would like to talk about how you can actually pick yourself up from failure and become very successful. 

Here are the things you can do to help you get out of failure and become very successful in your endeavours.

Develop a positive attitude towards success

It is said that success begins from the mind and I think they are very right. If you truly want to become very successful in life, you will need to develop a very positive attitude irrespective of whatever you are going through. 

You should always believe that you can become successful in life, that you can achieve the most important goals in life and that anything is possible as long as you put your mind to it.

 That is the attitude that will lead you on your path towards success. 

If you face failure, sometimes it is very disappointing and it may make you enter into the negativity zone but whenever you find yourself entering into the negativity zone, take a break and tune your mind to something else like listen to some good music that you love, music that’s good to your ears will bring joy into your life and you will find yourself smiling again. 

This will help remove the negative thoughts that would actually develop in your mind and give you some positive thoughts that will take you to the next level in your ambitions.

Become persistent and engrossed into achieving success

When you are very persistent in life and you are willing to try again whenever you fail, you will most likely achieve your desired goals. Very many successful people are actually also persistent people. 

They develop the attitude of never giving up on their goals and continue to work hard and chase the most important t goals in their life. These are people who are actually called the risk takers.

 They will keep trying out things until they are sure that they have actually achieved the goals that they had set out for themselves. If your first business has failed, pick up the lessons and then start all over again. 

This should just be like playing a video game.

 When your man dies during the game, you press the start button and start off again and move forward. 

Being persistent will make you look at failure just as a roadblock to help you learn more lessons that can help you become better at your craft so that you can achieve the most important goals in your life. 

Persistence is the only medicine that can kill failure. In the face of persistence, failure becomes history and it will actually disappear and never surface in anyone’s life.

Learning from other successful people

Many of the problems that we actually do face today were already faced  by the people before us and  you will reduce the number  of mistakes that you will make if you are willing to learn from some of these successful people. 

You can do this by reading their biographies and also the books that were written by these people.

 I have personally learnt a lot about business and entrepreneurship from Richard Branson the founder of the Virgin group of companies than anyone will ever learn about business in a classroom. 

So if you are passionate about entrepreneurship and business, you should try to get yourself some copies of books written by successful people or books written about successful people that will help you achieve your desired goals in life.

 If you read these books, you will be able to pick up some of the lessons from the mistakes that were made by these people and you will be able to significantly minimise your mistakes and continue to get closer towards your desired goals.

Make friends with smart people

If you are able to befriend smart people and become friends with them, you will be able to learn more from them. 

You should be friend people who are actually successful in the art or business that you want to get into. If you want to become very successful business person, become friends with business people and if you want to become a very successful music artist, you should befriend successful music artists who are topping the music charts. 

You will be able to learn from these people and they will also guide you on how to become better at your craft or passion.
