Failure is a part of life. It’s the very fundamental foundation that all life is built upon. We are who we are because of constant evolutionary failures. Through repeated iterations over millions upon millions of years, those failures helped to create human beings. While most of us might not be able to grasp the enormity of that statement, in the here and now, it’s more than okay to fail. In fact, failure is necessary.
1. Failure is inevitable.
At least once in your life, you are going to fail at something. Your talent, intelligence, hard work, and/or passion will not be able to save you. Failure is inevitable. Everybody has failed, although some refuse to admit it. Don’t let them fool you. If you research the stories of the most successful people of our time, you’ll find they, too, have failed. In fact, it was failure that produced the success stories of people like Steve Jobs, Oprah Winfrey, and Walt Disney, just to name a few. So calm down. You’re in incredible company.
