Get comfortable with failure is something that we don’t hear often.
Mostly, we are told to be successful or at least perform average. Failing isn’t an option given to anyone.
If by any chance you fail then, My god! People will stare at you like a lion ready to catch his next prey.
Failure to put in simple terms means not being able to do something as per set expectations. And here is the problem, expectations. We sometimes assume we are good at something and expect too much of ourselves.
We overload ourselves with expectations, which leads to self hatred if expectations arent fulfilled.
The quote, “No expectations no disappoints” makes a lotta sense, if you give it a thought.
If you don’t expect anything then you won’t look at failure as failure, but as an opportunity to learn, to improve.
To illustrate, let us take an example of the man who invented the light bulb: Thomas Edison
After, thousands of trials and experiments he was able to create a well-functioning light bulb. He invented it not because he was afraid of failure, he made it because he was eager to learn and to improve.
He embraced his failures with an open heart and accepted what they gave to him: Knowledge. To get what you want you need to grow, and to grow you need feedback.
Trust me, failure is a hard-core critique and it will give you the exact feedback you wanted.
Thomas Edison and all the famous, well know personalities got comfortable with failure and you should get comfortable with failure as well.
The very idea of failure being a curse to one indeed is engrained by society and we can’t control what people think.
We can change our beliefs and start living life the way we want: Being OKAY with failure.
This is the life I believe most of us would be happy with because directly or indirectly we don’t want the fear of failure in our minds.
Hence, Get comfortable with failure ✌️
Happy failure to yall 😀
