THE CONCEPT OF SUCCESS - The concept of Failure


Life itself is full of principles and formulae. Follow and apply them and you are free. It is true that sometimes you come into contact with failure of which to me should not be a reason why you should not achieve your aims and aspirations but rather, a source of encouragement; a sign to tell you that there are better things awaiting you in the future. It is not about where you fell that matters, but what you pick from where you have fallen should be of great concern; repeating in class is failure and it tells you to sit up and study hard, that is what you should pick from where you have fallen; your business is not growing, sit down and plan it well, that is what you should pick from where you have fallen; you lost a huge sum of money, go back and do your homework well, seek advice from legal practitioners and stakeholders on how to raise funds, that is what you should pick from where you have fallen. We could go on and on for all we care but actually, at the end of picking something better, what will happen to these groups of people is that; the student will become better, the business man will improve his business and the other will get enough capital to do the need in question. So you see failure is not what we see it to be. The only one who can give you the opportunity to start life all over again and on a good note; the only one who can prompt you when you are going wrong, the one who knocks on the door of great men like you. Failure is not an obstacle in life as we see it to be, but actually we are been deceived by our minds. When we perceive it to be an obstacle, then it turns out to be one. Indeed failure is a blessing from God Himself and a medium through which we can get direct inspiration so as to be able to pursue our aims and aspirations in the right way .Indeed, failure may take a very long period of time in our lives but remember,

“No matter how long the night will take, the day will surely come” Anonymous.

 The time of failure is a time of pain, the time that you begin to feel the suffering of others. That is the time that you get closer with your creator and also acknowledge and understand the principles of the uniqueness of creation.

God in His own infinite wisdom created everything in pairs; man and woman, boy and girl, good and evil, etc. This principle by God is indeed a miracle thus; it applies to almost everything on this planet and beyond, including the life of man. In life, you are either; happy or sad, alive or dead, successful or a failure. This is one out of the numerous miracles of creation. This issue of failure giving you an impression of the images and the miracles of creation can best be illustrated by the concept of the coin. And I call it “life on a coin”. Just as the law of creation-thus everything in pairs, so are the faces of a coin. Every coin has a head and a tail, meaning success and failure respectively. At the end of this illustration, you will indeed come to realize the truth in the fact that failure is only a sign to alert you of better things to come in the near future.
