By When we learned to walk, we fell down so many times as a baby. Every time we fell down, our near and dear ones were cheering us up to get up and walk. The most privileged time.
Later in our lives, we are not allowed to fail. When we fail, we just need someone to say it’s okay, someone just to hold our hands, someone who could just listen and get our world without judging us. On the contrary, we will be surrounded by people, near and dear ones and sometimes unknown, ready to give us tons and tons of advice and suggestions, their experiences, how smart they were in handling their lives, and so on. It becomes beating their own trumpet instead of giving us hope that everything will be back to normal. Some, on the other hand, are so happy that we failed. For some, it becomes hot news to gossip.
The times that I failed miserably, more than my failure, people around me made it more miserable for me. That was when I stopped sharing my failure with others and found that I became a stronger person to face my failures. It was relatively easier to handle my failures alone.
Handling my failures all alone did not mean I was strong to handle them, it just meant that I didn’t have any other choice. Today I don’t wait for people to approve of me or validate me. I am okay with failure. Failures teach me a lot and make me a stronger person. Failure is not a red flag. Failure is not a punishment. Failure does not mean we are a failure. The success of life is to move from failure after failure with grace, not stopping at any point in time. Take the lesson as you move. Become a better version of yourself. There is so much more to explore in our lives. Life stretches its hands out to us and says, it’s okay to fail, I am still on your side.
Do not lose hope. Laugh at your failures. Let your failures fail to upset you.
See you in my next sharing. Until then always stay connected, my divine souls. Much love.
