'How To Overcome Failure In Life'
Today I want to share with you "how to overcome failure in life". What I'm about to share with you is my own life experience please pay attention to all the details and READ EVERYTHING TILL THE END SO YOU CAN LEARN FROM IT. I just experienced failure and I want to share with you things I learned from it and how to overcome failure in life.
I started this blog in the year 2014 as a platform to share my contents with the world and I started with the name www.9jer.blogspot.com and people enjoy the things I post. Last year a friend advised me to sign up for advertisement on google so I can make money off my content. Though I didn't start the blog just to make money; I started the blog to impart lives and so people who visit the blog would be happy about what they read here.
After the advise of my friend to sign up for and I obliged but I was not approved by the people I applied with. While doing all these there was no one to put me through the blogging and everything I had been doing so I googled and read them online. When they rejected me then people said I should buy my own domain name maybe they would approve me.
So I bought the domain name and the blog became 9jer.com. After all these the advertising company still rejected me and told me to work on some things which I did and they finally approved me.
When they approved me I felt a sense of victory, that I am doing the right thing and I can achieve anything I want if I don't give up. I felt happy because it took me ONE year before they approved my account.
When I was happy that I can start showing ad on my blog then I realised I had done it the wrong way ; I registered through blogspot.com and not independently, this simply means I can't show advert on my own domain which is www.9jer.com until I reach certain stage.
So this means I have to go back to the beginning; back to 9jer.blogspot.com and start all over again until I reach certain stage before I can use 9jer.com to show advert. What are my failures in this and what are the lessons and how does it relate to what you might be going through at the moment and how can you overcome your own failure in life? Read on please..
MY FAILURES
1. I failed because I didn't meet the right people who have been doing what I intended to do before diving into it. I should have met someone who is a professional at doing this and tell them to teach me physically and not by just reading material online.
How does this relates to you?
If you've ever failed in anything you'd tried to do, you need to find people who are good in this area and ask them to teach you how to do what you want to do. Asking for help is not a weakness but a strength, seeking knowledge on what you want to do will help you to overcome a past failure.
2. I failed because I didn't ask the right question before I dabbled into my new venture.
How does this relate to you? Maybe why you might have failed in any area is because you didn't ask the right question. The right questions are not general questions like how can I do this thing or what does it take to do this thing? The right question is something like 'what are the consequences if I do this thing the wrong way?' A question like this would always remind you why you need to do it right the first time and why you have to be patient while doing something so you don't lose anything in the process.
SO HOW CAN YOU OVERCOME IF YOU'VE ALREADY FAILED IN AN AREA BEFORE?
1. ALWAYS KNOW THAT BECAUSE YOU FAILED DOES NOT MEAN YOU'RE A FAILURE ; "YOU'RE ONLY A WORK IN PROGRESS.
If you never knew what it means to do something wrong you would never know how to do something right.
2. IT DOESN'T MATTER HOW MANY TIMES YOU HAVE FAILED, YOU'VE HAVE TO START ALL OVER AGAIN IF THAT IS WHAT YOU REALLY WANT TO DO; YOU CAN NOT QUIT JUST BECAUSE YOU FAILED".
Delay is not denial and a setback is never a set off but a set up for uncommon breakthrough. Many great people who are important in the world today would have so much to say if they decided to share with you how many times they failed before making it work. Abraham Lincoln, Bill Gates, and even the president of my great country would tell you so much about failure and they all succeeded at the end of the day. 'You're not a failure until you quit'. Only those who quit are failures.
3. YOU NEED A MENTOR SO YOU MUST SEEK ONE.
I have come to realise that we all need somebody to help us hold the ladder if we want to climb to the top in life and whoever is going to hold your ladder must be someone whose weight is larger than your's if you don't want to fall while trying to climb. Someone who has never been to where you're going is not the right person to give you advice about where you're going so you need a suitable mentor for your dreams and aspiration.
4. ASK THE RIGHT QUESTIONS FROM THE RIGHT PEOPLE.
Always ask questions that will benefit your cause and help you to achieve something before you do it.
5. NEVER BE AFRAID OF FAILING
Your mindset should see failure as something that moves you forward rather than something that brings you backward. 'When you learn from a mistake you become a master at doing things right'.
This last one should have come as the first but I don't want to sound religious so that I don't push you away. Your failure is just an experience and I want you to know that something good can never come easily.
Yes prayer is needed to turn a bad situation around for good. This world is govern by things we do not see and it would be unwise to just flip through life without being spiritually connected with our soul. To win a battle it starts from within you and if your weapon of spiritual warfare is not strapped up on your body the journey could be so tough.
Pray, work, be good to people, be honest, don't give up and never throw in the tower because I believe in you and I know you will succeed.
