How to Recover from Failures in Life?
Failures are quite common in everyone’s life. One of the things which are quite common in all of us is that we might lose our emotions, once things don’t go as per our plan. We all feel hard to deal with failures; this is the reason why many people asked me to do blog on how to recover from failures in life.
The day I started blogging on topics like self help, self improvement, etc. I realized that it is really difficult to set examples to others. Saying anything is not that difficult, unless the same things occur in our own life and then we are required to follow the same path which we do blog. I have seen many people saying so many things which they themselves don’t follow in their life, but then why are they say those things?
A few years back came through one entrepreneur, who was known for giving so many lectures to their employees related to self improvement and so many life related things. He wanted to be known as a philosopher and a well known blogger in his life, and that is why he uses to do blogging on his philosophical ideas as well.
To be very frank I realized that his ideologies or so called ethos were listen and appraised by his own employees only. He was not at all aware that those who are praising the same are only the flunky guys, who simply wanted to get points in his eyes with the help of fulsomeness.
What is the point in sharing ethos which you yourself don’t follow?
What is the point in sharing self help tips which you don’t implement on yourself as well?
The moment I realized this, I thought I will write only about the things which I myself will implement and thus set examples to others. I say things like women empowerment, because I really try to empower them from my own home only. Similarly I say about how to improve on some particular things, is simply because I either implemented the same on myself or have seen them effective in the life of someone very near to me.
What about failure?
Well, you might say what can you write about failures?
Those who think I have not faced failure in my life then let me tell you one interesting thing. I have been jobless for two times in my life since I started my career, I have been failed in a school level exam as well, while just prior to that exam I was the school topper of some school, I have been sacked from a job as well, although that was a part time job only, but still you cannot say that I did not tasted failure in my life. My life is in fact was having more downs than ups, but I never complaint about them; rather I treat them as an inspiration to move ahead in my life.
Being said these I might write something on how to recover from failures in our life, because I tasted and applied those things in my own life only.
How to Recover After a Failure
No matter what but failure is really difficult to handle in our life. No matter how positive thought we might have, still a failure can stop us to remain positive and being able to concentrate on the good things of our life when anything bad happens.
The most important thing which we need at the time of facing the failures is to accept the situation and then treat them in a positive manner. Always understand that failures will teach you some lessons only, take the lesson from life and move ahead.
Here are some ways to recover from failures in our life:
You Can’t Control Everything
No matter how strong are you, no matter how much money you own, no matter how powerful are you in public life, still you will have to understand that not everything is under your control only. You cannot control everything in your life.
A few months back I write a blog on three golden rules of our life, in which the third tips were being the same. In that blog I mentioned that don’t think much about things which are not in your hand. Worry only about the things which are in your control, or that can be influenced and changed by your actions, not about the things which are beyond your capacity to direct or alter.
The major thing which irritates us in our life is the reaction of our near and dear ones. But, I might say this to you all that you cannot control how people will act, no matter how close are those people, then why to worry about them. You hit failures, no issue, there are situations which you never know how they will turn out at times.
There is no point in wasting your precious time on thinking about those things which has happened in the past, rather it is better to think about what mistake did you made and how can you avoid them in future.
Part of Life
No matter how impactful a failure is there in your life, but to be very frank, failures are the part of our life. You cannot enjoy the taste of success unless and until you did not taste failure in your life.
Instead of thinking about failures or considering the fact that you did not gained anything from a particular failure in your life, rather you should worry about not gaining any experience for future from it.
Failures are a thing which can always make you proud of yourself that you at least tried something. Instead of without trying how can you analyze about a particular thing?
Life will go on
The biggest fact of anyone’s life is that the show must go on. The life will never stop for anyone. Also there will be good and bad times in everyone’s life. Good time doesn’t last forever in anyone’s life, nor will the bad time.
No matter if you lost your job, no matter if someone rejected you, no matter if your heart broke due to any whatsoever reasons, no matter if you lost a huge amount, always remember that life won’t stop over there only. It will go on in the same speed in which it is going on.
Just because something bad had happened in your life does not means that things won’t be good ever again. If so then everything would have remain in the same stage forever. But we know that everything changes its stage, so why to worry so much about failure?
Be Thankful
I have seen many people blaming either someone, or their god for their failures. Did you ever thought about that you may have failed in one area of your life, but that does not mean you don’t have anything good in your life?
To be very frank there are so many things in everyone’s life for which they can be grateful for. They must thank their own life or to their god that those good things are still there in your life.
Have you ever realized one thing, if you failed in getting one thing, life might have given you five things instead of that one thing.
Being said that I can say doesn’t think about one thing which you might not be able to achieve, but think about all other things which are there in your life, and enjoy them with your near and dear ones.
