End of The World And Failures

"It's 2013, and it's the end of the world!"

So what do we do next, now that we've survived the supposed apocalypse? We've survived the "apocalypse", we've survived the Y2K bug, and I'm pretty sure we'll survive the next anticipated apocalyptic date but, I have to ask you a question: Will you survive your next failure? I ask you this because failure is one of the most inevitable thing in our lives, more likely to happen than an apocalypse. You cannot really outrun it, cannot really hide from it and you definitely cannot NOT experience it. Maybe there was a time you tried to wiggle your way around it, and a time when you tried to sit back and not face it, but there's nothing you can or cannot do that will help you avoid it. It's just part of life! 

However, there is one thing that you should know about your failures---it means you tried! 

You put your foot forward, you reached for something, and you voiced your thoughts. Now, doesn't that sound like an accomplishment? You could have just done nothing, but you didn't, did you? Yes, you failed (and you will continue to do so) but you tried! You accomplished something when you failed, you accomplished experience! Not only that, you gained courage because not many people would risk themselves for something they're "not sure about". The brilliance of it all is that in your failure, you've succeeded. It is truly just a matter of perspective! 

If it isn't obvious to you yet, your opinion about your failure directly equates to your attitude in life. You need a healthy life, a full life! In order to do that, you have to keep a positive outlook. However, you don't need to be "positive Patty" nor should you be "negative Nancy". You should just be the best of what you are and what you have, and try to see the best possible you. Lastly, please don't misunderstand what I'm saying here. Just because I say that failure is an accomplishment doesn't mean that you should just be content with your failure. What I'm really trying to say is that you should take your  failure, learn from your experience, and try again! After all, "trying" is what sets apart the survivors, the winners and the leaders from the "zombies".

So I ask you again, will you survive your next failure?
