Every
successful person will honestly admits that failure exists. Experience has
shown them it is not easy to reach the top ladder of success. No matter how
smart, intelligent or brilliant you are we surely fail in some attempts. Any
failure when we attempt to achieve a goal should not be seen as the end of the
road. In one of my articles I posted some months ago, in which I said failing
an attempt is a mistake and it should be taken as opportunity to restrategize
your plans to come out again in high success. You should not be depressed by
any failing attempt, you never lose from the attempt but you rather gain
experience.
Basically,
we tend to learn two major lessons from a failing attempt; the first one is
that, we gain experience of why we failed while the second lesson is that we
are given the chance to re-plan and rebound from that failing attempt. Generally,
we see failure in different perspective and also success from different angle.
However, many human beings fail because they are thinking of seven things. In
other hand, some people tend to succeed too because they are thinking the
opposite direction of the seven things the other people would fail think.
The
question now is, why do people fail? The following five points to be analysed
below are reasons why many people fail. However, these same five reasons can
use to fix this ugly failure and turn it to success.
The
following five (5) reasons are the causes of failure also the solutions to turn
it to success.
1.
Dismissal of Past
Mistakes
Human
beings are different in dealing with situation. Some people stumble and just
feel that’s all while some people live to know why, that is, they would like to
know reasons why they stumbled? You have to see mistakes as lessons, laugh them off and move on. Failure is a teacher whenever we have the right attitude. Wise
people learn from their mistakes and tend to title this failing attempt as experience.
This experience widens their knowledge, sharpen their brains and shine their
visions.
Some
people fail because they fail to learn from the past mistakes, they dismiss the
past mistakes and again fall in the same pitfall in the future. However, some
people analyse the past mistakes, learn from them, restrategize and plan to
achieve their goals.
2.
Low Self-Esteem
One
of the traits of successful people is that they have high self-esteem and high
level of confidence. Low self esteem is a lack of self-respect and self-worth. Whoever
has low level of self-esteem tend to worthless himself or herself. With low
level of self-esteem you can take up any challenge then your success rate will
be at minimal. Don't tag yourself with a low level of this trait because it
breaks you down. Though, you might fail an attempt now but that should not be
the end. You are only a failure when stop you trying. The time is now my reader, believe in yourself that you can make it in life.
3. Lack of Discipline
Discipline
is one of the major tools you need to succeed in life. Those successful people achieved
whatsoever they have achieved because they take discipline as a worthy tool. The fact is that you can never achieve
anything without discipline. Discipline encompasses many things but it depends
on what view you take a look at discipline. No matter the level of your
discipline, you must be focused, determined, self-control, avoid distractions
and sacrifice. To achieve success in life you have to sacrifice a lot.
Don't
be a perfectionist. You might have an idealized perspective of what success
will look and feel like. Although that can be motivational, it might not be
realistic. Succeeding at one goal won't eliminate your entire problems. Be
manifest on what will fulfill your objectives and don't obsess about
superficial details.
4.
Insufficient
Persistence and Perseverance
To
achieve anything in this life you need to be persistent. Perseverance and
persistence have been where many people’s plan hit the bedrock. More people
fail not because they lack knowledge or talent but because they just give up.
It's important to remember two words: persistence and perseverance. Persist in
what must be done and resist what ought not to be achieved.
Try
new approaches. Persistence is important, but repeating the same actions again
and again, hoping that this time you'll do well, probably won't get you any
closer to your objective. Look at your previous unsuccessful efforts and decide
what things to change. Keep making adjustments and corrections, using your
experience as a guide.

7 Things That Affect You and Your Life
5.
Fatalistic Attitude
A
fatalistic attitude prevents people from accepting responsibility for position
in life. They feature success and failure to luck. They resign themselves to
their fate, irrespective of their efforts, that whatever has to happen will
happen anyway.
This
is false belief that whatever will happen would surely happen. This belief
makes you not to thrive for success and makes you a lazy one. It is because you
belief even without you pushing hard, working hard or sacrifice anything you
will surely get what you deserve.
Try
looking in the mirror every day and say, I am in charge. You might not have
control of every phase of your life, but you have more control than you
realize, and you are accountable for your own happiness and success.
