Failure.?

Hello all! How is it going?

I am thinking about life overall and I have been thinking about the things that I have failed at in life and wanted to open up about how I deal with those failures. So I have a question my blog peeps, and this can be used as a writing prompt if you are a writer and like to do writing prompts. The question is below as well as my response.

Do you deal with failure positively?

When it comes to failure and I, we are never on the same page. So, to answer this question I do not positively deal with failure. When I fail at something I am usually in an unpleasant mood. I take it to heart, and I feel like I hurt myself when I fail at something. I kind of shut down for a while and just be in a funk. I feel like it takes a while for me to fully process that I have failed. It is not a good feeling. I then start to question everything I have done leading to it. Feel like I must work so much harder for me not to fail. Failure I know happens from time to time life is not easy and pursuing your passions and your dreams there is a chance of failure. Me knowing this I still don’t like failing and feel like I am letting myself down or others. I know it is not okay for me to feel this way, but I do. Something I try to work on and know that everything will not always go my way. Failure is a part of life. Some of us need to accept that (ME). Learning to take things how they are when they arrive. Yeah, me and my Failures do not get along (LOL),

How do you deal with failure? How do you move past it? Care to share?

Please feel free to like, comment, and share!!!

Blessings and Love

  1. Carrying failure around for way too long is something I made a bad habit of. I would internalize it to the degree that everything was colored through that lens. Even my successes would come with a “Yeah, but…” attached to them and a long list of all my misses.
    One thing I have found that helps is not focusing too hard on the end result. Keep your eye on the horizon, but embrace the process and find the value and meaning in that. And if you did your absolute best during each step of the process, recognize that and celebrate the small wins along the way. And if you miss because of something out of your control, let it the hell go. Don’t own that.

    We all want the home run, but we often forget the fact that most of the time we hit singles and doubles to win the game.
    Think of the word”failure” as a synonym for “experience.”
    I know it sounds cliche, and I won’t sit here and claim it’s easy, because it’s not. It’s like any other habit or endeavor. You have to go through the painful practice to get better at it.
