5 Effective Ways to Convert Failure into a Life-long Success!

We are living in uncertain times.

It is one of the strangest times in the modern history in which the world is brought to its knees by the Covid-19 pandemic. Millions have lost their jobs, schools and businesses are shut and the economy is tumbling downwards.

High tensions and uncertainty have become ‘the new normal. And many people are struggling right now in their personal as well as professional lives, and are living in constant fear of failing.

But failure is not permanent unless you give it the POWER it seeks. Failure is a part of life, and especially an inevitable aspect of a business. However, turning your failure into success is the real process.

Ask any successful person about their journey, and you will know that they too had their share of failures. A successful person is not someone who has never tasted failure. A successful person is the one who learns from his failure and turns it into success.

How much you learn from your failure determines how far you will go in creating success. And if we seek to grow both personally and professionally, we must pursue desired ends. We have to step out of our comfort zones and challenge ourselves with the goals we set.

However, there is one essential skill that every successful person deliberately excels and that is the ability to transform the experience of failure into lifelong success.

Here are 5 simple, yet surprisingly powerful ways to turn every failure into success:

1.       Set Realistic Goals

First, sit down and visualize yourself. What exactly you want to be? Do you want to be an Entrepreneur? Or, you simply want to get a job in the field you love? Which career path or personal goals do you have?

Many aspiring people set too many goals even before they begin, and set their foot on the path of disappointment and failure. Don`t do that! It will only give you a series of setbacks.

The key to set realistic goals is that you meet them, where you are currently in your personal and professional life.

You can either write them down in your journal or create a vision board. You can also take help from some of the best motivational speakers in India to seek guidance.

2.       Prepare to fail & Learn from your Mistakes

To err is human, and to learn from those errors is becoming a ‘Super Human’. And, no we are not kidding at all! Every human being makes mistakes on an unknown journey. Identifying your mistakes and learning from them quickly is what determines your personal and professional growth.

Many successful people have experienced some kind of failure. Most of the great inventions like the X-Ray machine, Microwave Oven, Penicillin, and super yummy chocolate chip cookies happened entirely due to mistakes.

But not every mistake will be as sweet as choco-chip cookies. This is why understanding your mistake and learning your lesson increases your growth potential.

3.       List out the reasons you failed!

Just like the doctor can`t diagnose the disease without conducting few tests done, we too can`t learn from our mistakes, unless we know the reasons. Sometimes, the reasons could be so small that you might not even have noticed it.

But when we analyze our mistakes and the factors that contributed to them, we understand the reasons behind the failure in a clearer way.

Also, some of the best lessons we ever learn, are learned from the mistakes we have done in the past!

4.       Celebrate; not just your success, but also your Failures

We all know that smooth roads have never made good drivers. And failures are those pin-head turns that send chills down the spine of every driver. But fearing those turns will never help you to succeed. Why? Inaction puts everything at risk.

It is far better to perform a task imperfectly than to do nothing at all. When we do nothing and let the fear of failure overpower us, we do not make any progress- professionally as well as personally. And that is the shortest route to FAILURE.

Hence, keep taking calculative risks. If you fail, shrug the clouds of dust, get over it, and try again! That will take you to the road of guaranteed success. Meet motivational speakers in India like Dr. Vivek Bindra to understand the mantra of success.

5.       Talk to yourself nicely, because you are listening

According to Forbes, people who tend to fall short of their goals, turn on themselves. They straightway direct the frustration over their failure towards a self-destructive negative mindset.

It is one of the most common patterns that people follow. They engage in negative self-talk. However, it is the single most destructive pattern that results in berating themselves. Negative self-talk can be incredibly damaging, especially when you are encountered with a bump of failure.

Do not let a failure allow you to get indulged in self-pity. A failure might sting for a moment, but it too will pass. Staying positive during averse time is the real key to the door of success.

If you are in a season of failure and setback, you must know that you are not alone. Also, your current situation will not remain the same forever. Know that with the right mentorship from the best motivational speaker, you can turn things around. Under the guidance of Dr. Vivek Bindra, you can achieve your goals and come out even stronger.
