Failure is not fatalπ
A failure is one who wouldn't try again
So few years back, I was singled out from a group meeting and asked, what is one thing you fear?
I didn't have to think too far before answering, "failing"
I am scared of failing you know why? Cause I'm wondering, where do I start from again? How do I do this all over?
And you see, Everytime I fail, the first thing that comes to my mind is quitting, just to give up.. how funny, unfortunately, that's the first step to failure.
I always have the mindset of why fail when we can pass, when we can win, it should always be a win win situation, but guess what?
I have failed so many times at so many things
From relationships to targets ( some I even set myselfπ) to even academics
Remember, I had to take another WASSCE examination cause I failed a subject the last time.
For a person who has visited the JAMb website a couple of times only to see "sorry, no admission has been given yet", you sure would understand the depression that is stirred up with that rejection
But should we because of a couple of fails give up and quit.. of course not!
Winners they say, never quit and quitters never win, they never win.
You see every of our experiences, good or bad if utilised properly, should be a source of inspiration to others, let it be, "if Dorcas overcame this, I can too" not something else
Let your light shine in ALL situations
You know, if you're always looking at the bright side of your situation, you'lll never be afraid to try again... You would stop asking God the selfish question of "why me"
We know, the plans He has for us are of good and not evil.. our God is a good God, so we are sure, there's a bright light at the end of this tunnel, we are not to stop at the middle of this tunnel, we are getting to the end.. we must see this light
And when you give up on life you already lost the battle with life and you were defeated hands down
I'll round up with this very recent experience I had
So after exams, we've been waiting for our results which are been released one after the other, and this course comes out and mass failure is recorded, I even got an F, yes F as in like taking the course next year and here's the message my dad sent me:
"Don't worry Dorcas you will give it a deadly blow next time, l know you shall end gloriously in Jesus name (amen). How is everyone in the house?"
After reading this message, I could only smile, but I was ready to do it again, I was ready to defeat it....
But few days later, the error was rectified and the grade changed
Here's what my dad says next:
"Dorcas, it's like that course is scared of you o, you would have dealt with it next yearπ"
So you see, you should move around with a mindset like this, knowing you can do things better and differently
The peace of the Lord be with you.. Amen!!
Thank you for this piece
