By Matata Mercy

 We have all seen successful people around the world, we sometimes follow them online and even some people have been able to meet these people in person and when we look at out own lives, we feel like we are just struggling to survive and nothing else.

But to us these people have everything that they desire and they are living their dream life and we wonder how these people actually managed to get where they are. 

Some of us believe that these people have assets and connections that we cannot have access to.

But the truth of the matter is that these people have faced very many failures before they could taste success.

 If you are going to succeed in anything then you will need to learn how to fail, failure will teach you about what doesnot work and what actually does work properly.

The biggest obstacle that we do face on our way to success is that we always look at failures that we face as our failures and because we have this ego and reputation, it makes us feel and believe that failing is a bad thing.

If we are going to succeed in those things that we desire to achieve, we will need to start looking at failing in a different way and we will need to learn how to fail without being hurt in any way or the other.

When we are young, we are not afraid of failing  at things.  If you have ever observed a toddler who is trying to learn how to walk you will know that.

 They fall down several times while they are at it and then after some time they will perfect the art of walking. They do not give up on learning how to walk. 

If we are going to succeed in achieving our goals, we will need to start looking at our failures in a positive way and remove the negative things that do happen to us.

We should stop taking our failures seriously and instead give ourselves the permission to fail without feeling bad about it. When we fail, we should just rise up and start playing again as  if nothing ever happened to us. 

You should always remember that your failures do not define your character but actually those failures will just end up building your character and make it better in the long run.

Your failures will prepare you for upcoming success  and that success may be very close or it may be very far but what does matter at this point is how you feel when you are on your way to success.

You should always make sure that you are celebrating every season of your life on your way to success.

 Here are some tips that will make you feel confident while you are on your way to achieving success

 Close your eyes and  then take a look at how far you have come 


 Very many times we do feel  like we are failures simply because we are not able to see the progress that we have actually made in our lives.

If you can sit down and look at where you are now and where you actually were a few years ago, you will actually realize that you have been making some valuable progress in life however little it may be but it is worth it and better than nothing.

 At this point you will realize that all those failures that you did encounter all worked out in your favour in the long run.

You may not have made alot of progress but the truth of the matter is that those failures have shaped you into a better human being and this will help you to face challenges better in the future.

You should always live by your values so that you will be able to define success in your own way


 When you set up values that you live by and you are able to hold true to those values, you will not feel bad when you make mistakes in life. 

This will help you to become the director of your life and it will help you feel aligned with every decision that you do make in life. 

This will make you to have peace  and build happiness in your life simply because you will not spend time complaining and blaming other people for those mistakes that do occur. Your values will provide the necessary guide to help you define what the meaning of success is to you.

 Allow your burning desire to lead you to success

 All of us do have the same basic needs but what does separate each one of us is what we actually want out of life.

 We all do have different needs and if we can use that burning desire that we do have within us ot help us move towards success, we will ultimately achieve our goals.

 If you are going to succeed in life, you must be able to know what you truly desire simply because a powerful desire is far much better than having talent or even just not having any talent. Your desire will lead you to where you deserve to be.

 The path that you do follow towards your burning desire will give you meaning and fulfillment in life. If you are only following what other people are telling you to do, then you will not be fulfilled and instead you end up disappointed in life.

When you are following your desire, you will be able to make sacrifices and also you will be able to face the challenges that you encounter and also overcome all the obstacles that are lined up before you with an intense drive and motivation and this will push you towards success.

Do not compare yourself to others


In the society that we do live in today, people love to compare each other and they feel that it is the way ot validating success or failure.

 Comparing ourselves to others robs us of the joy of running our own race and it forces us to instead focus on other people.

 If you are going to achieve any success, you will have to learn to compare yourself to your past self. You should own yourself so that you are able to write your unique story that others will enjoy.

  If you are able to struggle for your goals, you will be able to attain success and fulfillment. You should not allow to suffer for your goals simply because it is not a good way of living.

You should not wait to achieve extraordinary success before you can become confident.

You should always be able to find success in your failures that will help you become confident until you are able to reach your goals.

When you are able to stop allowing failures make you feel like you are a failure, you will be able to open up doors to more success. 

You do not have to wait to achieve success before you can become good about yourself anymore. Success will come when the time has arrived and right now all you need is to feel confident about yourself.
