HOW WE HANDLE FAILURE IS MORE IMPORTANT THAN HOW WE HANDLE SUCCESS

- Prisha Thapar

What does it mean to you to “fail better ”? Better than someone else? Fare a little better each time you try? Maybe it means to fail spectacula­rly! Go big or go home! How about failing and learning something through this experience? That is the key: to allow failure to be a springboar­d from which we grow.

How we handle failure is more important than how we handle success. We are all going to experience failure at some point of timein our lives, and our attitude to failure is what determines whether we bounce back or fall hard.

The power of our intention is amazing, and the simple conscious decision or desire to bounce back will make it far easier for us. We must not blame ourselves too much about the failure at hand; it is not about ‘YOU’. Your potential to make a difference does not change after you fail. Your loved ones will not look down at you. If anything, your potential increases with every failure experience you have, giving you the most valuable and dramatic growth.

Still breathing, spend a little time realising parts of your sub conscious, in tuition and conscious mind and start working towards your goal. So when you fail, begin from exactly where you are. Look for opportunit­ies, take a deep breath and get back into the game. Knowing that you are learning valuable lessons along the way, having great experience­s and living life to the fullest! “Vive La Failure”!
