Failing is easy, it’s the bouncing back from failure that’s difficult. In this article, you’re going to find out the five easy steps you can take to overcome failure.
- Embrace failure
When you learn to embrace failure, you will see it’s not so bad. There are so many benefits of failing, but you’ll never recognize these if you don’t embrace failure in the first place.
When you accept failure as something that needs to happen, then you can easily move on to the next step. Otherwise, you’ll find it hard to look beyond your failure.
- Analyze your failure
Now that you’ve learned to accept your failure, retrace your steps. Go back to your notes and find out what misstep you took.
Analyze your processes until you find the reason why you failed.
When you’ve isolated that reason, don’t ignore it. Instead, use it as a tool to help you move forward, that is, learn from your failures.
- Regroup and think of another approach
So, now you’ve isolated the reason or reasons for your previous failure. Try to map out the next steps you should be taking.
This would be your Plan B, Plan C, or however many plans you need to take until you find one that works. If plan B doesn’t work, then go to plan C, and so on.
#James Donaldson notes:
Welcome to the “next chapter” of my life… being a voice and an advocate for #mentalhealthawarenessandsuicideprevention, especially pertaining to our younger generation of students and student-athletes.
Getting men to speak up and reach out for help and assistance is one of my passions. Us men need to not suffer in silence or drown our sorrows in alcohol, hang out at bars and strip joints, or get involved with drug use.
Having gone through a recent bout of #depression and #suicidalthoughts myself, I realize now, that I can make a huge difference in the lives of so many by sharing my story, and by sharing various resources I come across as I work in this space. #http://bit.ly/JamesMentalHealthArticle

- Believe that you can do it
With self-belief, you will be able to convince not just yourself but the people around you, that you can indeed succeed at whatever you put your mind to. You’ve planned for this moment, you’ve already learned from your failures.
You just need to believe that you’ll find the perfect plan or strategy that will lead to your ultimate success. If you don’t believe in yourself, then chances are you’re never going to find success.
- Have the self-discipline to see it through until the end
Self-discipline is so important in our lives. Without it, you will be distracted by all forms of temptations and distractions. You’ll never be able to get anything done.
The moment your friends come calling, you’ll ignore the fact that you’ve still got a lot of items left on your daily to-do list. That kind of behavior is not going to help you succeed.
If you want to eventually end up successful, you need to work on building your self-discipline.
