How to deal with Failure

 Failure vs Success

We have many plans in our life. Success and Failures are a part of it. We often want to do something, to achieve something. We got so much involved in that desires that we start living it in our daily life. So obviously, if that desire doesn’t fulfills then we face a very bad period of life. We become sad. This is all because we don’t understand the meaning of Failure. We doesn’t understand failure's importance in our life. We don’t have the power to deal with failure. To deal with failure we first need to understand it deeply.

Suppose, what if you get successful in life in everything in first attempt. Would that life be full of happiness? May be yes, but for a very small time span. Think deeply. The more we face the failure in something, more will be its importance in our life. If we easily achieve something, then that won’t be important in our life.

Importance of Failure

Also you have to understand one another aspect of the failure. Sometime we think we are failing in something because it is not easy to do. That’s a very good sign. Because if it would have been easy then every one would have done that and that will not be so important for us then, as it is important for us today. To become successful, we need to be different, we should do hardwork, we are expected to invest our time and energy in it. After all this, when we will achieve the success, then this all sacrifice will be worth of it. And we will retain its importance in our mind forever.

Failure should never be discouraging, but this never means that you should take failure very lightly. Failure should be taken seriously, but not in depressing way. One should not feel demotivated by failure. But you should definitely take a lesson from failure, so that you don’t get failure again by the same reason. This is the curve of learning. Whatever you learn in one failure, is definitely going to help you to deal with many other issues in your life.

SPIRITUAL VIEW ON FAILURE

Spiritual view of looking at failure is very different. If we fail in materialistic world, this is considered good. This is because the more we succeed in materialistic world without having the spiritual knowledge, there is a large probability that we will get attached to that success and become happy for the time being. But in the same time this happiness is going to be the biggest reason for our sadness soon.

Living a Spiritual Life

The more the happiness in the materialistic world, is going to give us more sadness in the materialistic world itself. If we know the reality of materialistic world then we will not attach ourself to the issues of the same world. Then there will be struggle, there will be hardwork, there will be planning to achieve something. But there will not be so called deep rooted desire for achievement of something, even that the failure will not make us disappointed towards life.

Then we will be working for a reason, not for a desire of achieving something. That will be a meaningful life. 

One success or failure is not going to define our entire life. It is part of life, there are ups and downs, success and failures, happy and sad, good and bad. This all are the colors of life. We can do nothing in it. We just have to live our life in the way we are meant to live. Doing our duties, working hard with great wisdom and the most important, being satisfied when we have given 100% of our efforts in achieving something, whatever the result may be.
