Failure is a Good Thing?

There are a lot of things in life that we don't understand.

Here are some examples.

"Why do bad things happen?" 

"Why can't I do anything right?"  

"Why did I have to fail?"

"Why did my loved one have to die?"

There are many, many more.

Did any of these apply to you?

Today I wanted to talk about failure being a good thing.

A lot of people are hurting in our world and a lot of people fail.

I am here to tell you that you will grow the most in your life when you fail!

This is the opposite of what most people will tell you.

Why am I telling you this?

I'm telling you this because you can use those failures to learn from them and empower yourself for daily living. With failure comes great pressure to be better than you were before you failed.

Keep a journal and write down your failures.

Next time it comes to the task that you failed at last time, look back to that journal entry and learn from the failure. Being in school for longer than you would like may be annoying right now, but later it can be useful for having a better understanding of certain subjects.

When you fail, fail forward.

I'm going to tell you a little story:

Think about a running back in football.

This running back only needs one more yard to get the game winning touchdown.

The quarterback snaps the ball and hands it off to the running back.

The running back takes the ball and is met at the line of scrimmage by defenders.

He falls or (fails) forward and gets the touchdown.

In the same way, we fail forward and gain experience in a certain area of our lives and we are stronger for it.

I would suggest that you keep a journal for your failures like I mentioned earlier.

Also, I would suggest that you keep going forward, never give up!

Be inspired that you are not alone, you can fail to SUCCEED!

Good Experiences In Life

There is a saying that, "all good things must come to an end."
This is not necessarily true.
There are good experiences in our lives that we don't want to end.
We must learn to enjoy those good moments in our lives and to cherish the memories of those good moments.

A good moment could be going on a great trip to your favorite place, maybe the beach.
Remember the times that you laugh, and remember those hard times even though they seem hard at the time; they make you stronger in the end.

What would your life be like if you thought about the bad experiences all the time?
Your life would be messed up as the rest of the world is because we don't try to think and find the good things in life.

Think about a time in your life that was a good time.
Whether that is meeting the love of your life, buying your first car, having a child, or spending time with family and those you love!
Hold and cherish that time today as you think back on the good things of life.
Life is too short to dwell on those bad things that hold you down.
Share that memory with at least one person today.
They will be glad and share in your joy!
