4 Reasons Why It Is Good to Fail (Temporarily)

By Paul Jenkin


Failure, for many, means it's the end of the world. They have tried all they can and ended up with nothing. They will take that setback and live with it to the rest of their lives.

However, there is no need to settle for less once you failed. You will not progress if you let failure take over you. Even though it is not bad to settle for something less, it may encourage you to not dream and try harder. In order to achieve what you want, you need to strive for it even if it means trying all over again. It is through failures that you appreciate success in your life.

1. Failures make you humble. Dreaming for success makes a person become aggressive and assertive. Failing is what makes us grounded. It helps us realize to not over think our efforts. It helps us dream but not in a way that we become self-contained about being successful. The breakdowns help us become stronger and mature in handling them better the next time you encounter them.

2. It drives you to do better. Failing may be discouraging but it can be challenging too. It will motivate you to go for the goal that is destined for your journey. You only fail because you don't get the goal that you expected to achieve. Even if you planned it, it does not mean it is the best thing for you. The best thing may require you to go beyond your limits to get the success that you want.

3. Failures help you think better. If you fail, it helps you reflect on what has gone wrong. Once you know what went wrong, you can now decide better later on if you again see the same failure coming or find ways for it not to happen again. It will guide you to do your best efforts the next time around and establish bigger goals.

4. It directs you to more success. After you have thought over things, you now have to intervene appropriately. By this time, you already are aware of the things which made things fail and you know what to do to not let the same mistake happen again. Just like Ford, Colonel Sanders, and Edison, you can fail twice as much but you can be as successful as them.

Failing can also be beneficial at times. The only thing you have to remember is to not let it take over your life. Simply use your God-given talents and knowledge to have control over your life despite the failures.
