There is No Such Thing as Failure....
There is a common mistake among the youth about how they should only see the reciprocation of their endeavors in two sides of a coin; defeat and triumph.
There is no such thing as failure. Failure is but a judgement we attribute to a deed. When you really begin to understand the nature of what we deem to call ‘failure’, you will know that you are actually incapable of failing. We do not come up against failures, for we are not capable of perceiving them. We come up against obstacles and results.
The important question is: What do we decide to do with these results?
Imagine that you want to learn how to play tennis, or how to bake cookies.
The first time you go the field to learn tennis, you fail to respond adequately nine times out of ten. When you bake those cookies, they hard coarse and hard. Does that mean that you have failed in these endeavors? Do you tell yourself that you ‘lack the talent’ for playing tennis or baking some cookies?
Obviously not. You go out to the field the next day and try again. You buy more flour and ingredients for the cookies and try again.
As we discussed before, human society and the whole of civilization is founded around ideas and concepts; thoughts turned into words, and words turned into action. Sometimes, we examine some concepts, that if filtered through common sense and reason, are inherently fallacious and wrong.
The concept of failure is one of those poisonous and unfounded ideas that has afflicted the entirety of history with its malicious presence. Because I would repeat this over and over if I had to: There is no such thing as failure. There are only results that await us at the end of every road.
By indulging the growth of a nonexistent concept such as failure in our minds, we have allowed ourselves to surrender when ‘results’ are not to our liking.
Breaking up in a relationship is not a failure, it is a result. Getting low scores on your exams is not a failure, it is a result. The rejection of your application for a certain job or university is not a failure, it is a result.
Mankind has come a long way, but they could not have been worse in their approach. Ask your parents; when you were a toddler and had just learned how to stand up on your feet and walk, you would fall a lot of times.
Every time, you would get up with no struggle whatsoever, and start walking again. Can you guess why? Because back then, you had no clue about the bitterness of failure and the human society had not yet force-fed this wicked concept to you.
Sculpt this truth in the deepest depths of your consciousness; that you have never failed and will never fail. What you have are results. You can either crawl into a hole and hide away from them, or you can muster your courage and fight back.
Would you jump in the whirlpool of life and experience its unrest, or would you cower in a corner and watch from afar as the story of the world unfolds?

Thomas Edison once said, “I have not failed. I have just found 10,000 ways that won’t work.”
@isabelpereira @nulifeiq
This is an interesting post. I find it intriguing to think about this concept of failure killing our drive to succeed. I never thought about it, but if you asked me if times where I didnt reach my goal were failures I would have agreed with the definition but not the concept. Here is why: My parents always encouraged me by calling these episodes falls not failures, and told me to simply get back up and try again. I think I was told that it’s not how many times you fall that is important, but how many times you get back up. I guess they were believers in this concept you propose. They refused to accept a single fall as the final determination of my chance of success at any given task, so neither did I. I am now motivated to write a post on this subject called falls are not fails. Thank you for the inspiration.
@shortsegments
As before, I'll write in Portuguese, because although I can read it is difficult to me to make a text.
Isso distorce a noção de amor próprio e é causa de muitos traumas desnecessários.
O seu post acorda esse fantasma e põe o dedo na ferida.
Obrigada por me incluir na comunidade. :D
Thanks and god bless you.
Como funciona no se como etiquetar 😥
The word says that those who love God all things help him well, there was a man in the Bible called Jacob, he took away the birthright from his brother Esau, then from that moment he was called usurper, when he meets God, he says to you, you will no longer call Jacob, usurper, but you will call yourself Israel chosen people, because I am your formator, israel.
This context leads me to think that we were created, but we have to be trained, and in that process of formation, there are what they call failures, it is like the caterpillar becoming a butterfly, that process is painful, or the eagle when it is renewed , in that time he lives an intense pain, but when it comes out, it comes out beautiful with a new plumage, ready to go up in the heights, we are mud in the hands of the potter, in my personal experience, I call the failures, "scars" that they make me remember that situations that seemed adverse and wanted to kill me, were not stronger than me, and I won.
I have learned that no time spent on earth attempting to learn a skill is wasted and no relationship that ended is a failure or time wasted. Every moment that I have invested my energy and talents has brought forth fruit. In relationships that ended....there was a lesson learned and I took it. In a job, I learned what I was not fit for.
I like this spin on failure and it's healthy to view as experience.

Hey chbartist, another encouraging post! And again, I really appreciate that you value my posts. Upvoted and resteemed!
hello everyone , i agree with these statement there is no such of failure in our life for those what we call failure is the best lesson in out life. If we didnt learn, of course we will do the same mistake over and over again . like people say , we cant do same job in same method but expecting different result .
As we face our people call failure , we just sit , rileks and says lesson learn .

There is a saying that winners don't quit and quitters don't win so failure ia nothing but just an attempt and that requires another attempt. Basically we must keep trying unless we get what we aimed for. Have a great weekend @chbartist
Posted using Partiko Android
indeed there is such a saying. would you agree with it? I used to be a boxer and I've learned that sometimes quiting is the best possible scenario (in a long run). Pushing forward sometimes may be worse than quiting

Hi @crypto.piotr exceptions are always there and whatever you said is an exception. Even i agree with you that sometimes quitting is better option but again it depends on scenario.
Posted using Partiko Android
It really does @alokkumar121
It's just not always "do not ever quit" is the best option. That's what Im trying to say. Ive seen people who dont want to quit no matter what and sometimes it fires back at them.
Have a great sunday ahead
Piotr
That's called the motivation. Failure is one of the major things for depression, demotivation in our life.
If we could take it this way, the way you are saying, it could help us to step ahead.
People often fees ashamed for their failure and never realized how it makes them more strong, more capable, more power to get things in future.
Thanks for this meaningful words.

@chbartist, Really excellently you've put forward this concept brother. Yes, there is nothing which is called as failure and every outcome is Result and if positive then we have to move towards next goals and if negative then we have to rework on it until we achieve positive results.
Wishing you an great day and stay blessed. 🙂
I've been away from steemit for a very long time and have practically nothing to show for my presence here.. I might have judged that to be a failure but after reading a post like this, I'll say IT IS A RESULT. I'll definitely follow and upvote
