Failure: the womb of innovations

Our world since existence is characterized with lots of failure. So many failed aspirations, conceptions, experiments have dashed many dreams. But it’s important to start again whenever failure and disappointment bring us low. A man’s life is one that comes with many disappointments but in the face of these heaps of repeated failure are lots of various inventions in our world today. Just like you; my head has been bowed by the direct punch of failure in my battle to succeed. Striving to get to the hallmark of acceptance in my Faith, Career, Relationships and so on is the limitations set in my mind by my repeated failures. Rising again to creative achievement when you have been beating down is what this article focuses on.

          I have heard and read many real life success stories of great leaders and inventors, many have reflected on the lesson learnt form one mistake or the other, in narrating their story. In a radio broadcast of Abiodun Fijabi an orator I heard while growing up. He said “you can win or lose battles but what is important is that you win the war”. Developing the right attitude in the face of failure is the strength you need to succeed. 

          God has the porter we as the clay said in His word, that it is possible to be re-designed even if we get ruptured in our design state.  If your creator has not given up on you why do you want to back down? I have discovered that picking up your life again to continue even at the breakdown of failure is the engine to creative solution. This blog page is a product of successful failures on my part in trying to reach out to people.

          It is important to stay true on your course even at recurring failures. Thomas Edison was able to light up the world after thousands of failed experiment.

“If you copy others to cover for your failure- you will kill the strength for innovation and hard work that is inside of you” that was the quotation I held on to after failing a course in the university, today I am better for it.

At the time it appears that giving up is the only solution to escape from your failure, it is very crucial to give yourself time to seat back and the review the process that get you to this point. Study the situation; pickup the priceless lesson imbedded in your disappointment. Take your time in deep meditation to Re-inventing yourself. Your desire for success should be a guide to strengthen your focus to never be intimidated by failure because in it lays fruitfulness. Very important is your respect to keep communion with God, because the direction he leads is what’s best for you.

Thanks.
