“Every failure presents an equal seed of opportunity.” –Napoleon Hill
What does this quote mean? That failing a calculus test is some kind of fortuitous blessing?Or, being late for work is an omen from the heavens? Not really, but it could be. Life is all about how you deal with failure. I failed this weekend and let someone down. It hurt me to fail. It hurt far worse to fail and the lose the trust of a person that is dear to me. I wish I could undo what I did but I can't. However unwanted, this failure has presented me with the following opportunities: 1.)Examine why the failure occurred and plan accordingly to never fail again 2.) Seriously contemplate my direction in life 3.)Strive towards creating a better, more improved Tyler Harrison. What opportunity failure brings! The important thing is that this failure does not reflect my character or my personality. You cannot let a failure become part of you because it is not. You and I are far better than that. Although I greatly wish I avoided this failure, there is simply no other way to rationalize the situation. I know in my heart it will work out.
Your quality of life depends on how you respond to failure. The truth is that if you want to be successful in life you can never accept failure as a plausible outcome. If you’re blazing your path towards a unique goal, ideal, competition, or person you will undoubtedly encounter many road blocks on your journey. This is especially true if your goal figuratively lies at the end of an unbeaten path none have yet traveled. When you are blazing a trail for others it makes achievement more difficult but so much more marvelous. Every great individual who achieved anything noteworthy in history was dealt many, seemingly insurmountable, defeats. The key is that they pressed on when failure seemed inevitable. This rings true for the trailblazers of every generation. Thomas Edison failed thousands of times, but he also got it right a few times too. People only remember his successes and that's what counts. What characterizes the worth of a person is how they respond to these momentary failures and extract the hidden opportunities awaiting their discovery. Maury Ballstein once begged the question, “What do we do when we fall off the horse...?"
