Failure is only bad in one scenario; when the failure costs you your life. In all other cases, failure is a good thing. Life's lessons are learned through failures. Growth occurs through pains and suffering. If you don't know the worst you cannot and will not be able to appreciate the best.
Failure is a fact of life. At one point or another in your life, and in many more times to come, you will find yourself in a situation that seems hopeless. You will try your best to get through and you will fail. But so long as you do not give up completely, persevere and you will eventually find a solution. You will move on as a newer, better, stronger, wiser person. What doesn't kill you makes you stronger and what pampers you, makes you weaker. So don't stay in the path of safety and security and comfort ALL THE TIME. Sometimes you have to take risks to advance yourself. The greatest the risk, the greater the glory. But do not be afraid of failing or the thought of it. Failures promote growth. It is okay to make mistakes and to fail.
"The greatest mistake you can make in your life is to continually fearing you will..."
-Elbert Hubbard
This doesn't mean you go around looking for things to fail at, that would be foolish. However, when you put your heart into something you love and want to do and find that you are not making progress. When you feel as though you at the whim of defeat, turn it around. Turn the failure into success. Its a blessing in disguise.
Every negative can be balanced with its positive opposite. There's always a good and bad in every situation, your job is to find the good from every bad situation
"A pessimist sees the difficulty in every opportunity. An optimist sees the opportunity in every difficulty."
-Winston Churchill
Failure can lead you through a transition. Real failure leads you through a transformation. In a sense you learn and change. Don't dwell. Don't feel bad about it. Learn from it and move on. Do not repeat the failure. If its not working then you must learn from it. Change something. Don't keep doing it.
Insanity: doing the same thing over and over and expecting different results.
-Albert Einstein
So what should you take out of this? If there's anything to learn from this is that you should not let your fear of making mistakes and your fear of failing hold you back from doing what you want. The most important thing is to take action and to take some chances and go out and try it! If it didn't work then realize that its only normal. Try again in a different way or in a different scenario but never let your pride and ego bring you down and keep you from growing and moving forward in life.
