In reply to Joan Harrington. I love your attitude of "BRING THEM ON", Joan. When we are willing to face our fear of failure and use the experience to achieve more meaningful or important goals, then we empower ourselves and become unstoppable. :)

In reply to Sharise Hemby-Nance. Thank you for making my day by validating the message of my post, Sharise. It is human to want to succeed and that too at the first attempt and when it doesn't happen, the clouds of disappointment and despair rain on us. A better way is to analyse where we went wrong and use it to achieve bigger and better goals and 'get it right next time'. That is when the rainbow manifests when the sun comes out again. :)

I love this! I just finished as a keynote speaker where I highlighted failure as a step en route to success
The most successful people have failed numerous times but they allowed that failure to fuel them. Thank you for sharing this invaluable information!

Really enjoyed your post this week Vatsala! If we did not have failures in our life, then we would not learn……and since having failures and learning from them is a step in the RIGHT direction for any kind of change, then I say “BRING THEM ON”!! For me, going through failures is what brings positive change and also makes me stronger in the long run!

Thanks for sharing your awesome post 🙂

Thanks for the pin Tamuria. I really appreciate your spreading my message.

Experiencing anger and disappointment is a natural first response unless one is completely detached from the world. It is what we do next that matters. I often compare it to rearranging the room. First we need to do the dusting and then move the furniture around to our liking. 🙂

In reply to Beverley Golden. Thank you for sharing your insights gleaned from experience for the younger readers, Beverley. No experience is ever wasted and who knows, someone who is on their Hero's Journey might just read your observation and find the motivation to get on with their journey. Abraham Lincoln is one of the best role models that I can think of when things look dismal and we need that spark of inspiration to continue towards ultimate success.

In reply to Delia @ Happy Blogger Plaza. Getting a little upset with a failure is human, Delia. It is how one handles the failure and uses it to 'get it right the next time' or course correct that sets the real achievers apart from the ones who give up. It can be very painful to fail in achieving our goal but when we get up, brush the dust off and go back in the arena to succeed, that is wonderful.

Oh, I used to think that failures were the end of the world. Now I know better. I may get upset a little bit but most of the time I deal really well with them, looking at the lesson to be learned and the improvement needed next time.

So great to see that many people now embrace failure as something necessary to advance to the next step. Thanks, Vatsala!
