It is often said that one of the biggest blocks to achieving success is the fear of failure.

Traditionally, failure is generally seen as something to be avoided at any cost, but failure is a part of life and can’t be avoided.

In fact, most of us are so focused on not failing that we don’t even try to be successful.

We subconsciously spend more time avoiding failure rather than seeking success.

Just the threat of not succeeding can stop us from taking risks and aiming high in life. But allowing ourselves to fail is vital to our future success and personal growth.

Failure is simply a step toward success, success can’t happen without failure.

Some of the world’s greatest achievements have been made only after many failures.

Take the inventor of the light bulb, Thomas Edison.

He is said to have made 1,000 unsuccessful attempts before successfully inventing the light bulb!

1000 failures!!! But he didn’t see those 1000 attempts as failures, but as an invention with 1,000 small steps.

So what is the solution? What separates the people who let failure destroy their motivation from those that use failure as motivation.

The difference is, those who let failure fuel their desire to try again understand the transformational power of not succeeding.

You may not be able to always avoid failure, but you certainly have the power to benefit from it.

You need to start accepting failure as a necessary stepping stone to success.

If you want to realize your dreams, goals, and desires, you have to learn to embrace failure and build on the benefits it generates.

Achieving a positive mindset to the negative connotations perceived by failing is not easy, but it is possible.

Here are 7 surprising benefits of failure that will shift your fear of failure to a source of motivation.

Benefits Of Failure

1/ Failure makes you stronger

The one quality that differentiates those who succeed from those who don’t, is the mental strength and fearless ability to persevere, whatever the outcome.

Using failure to your advantage requires mental strength and experiencing failure helps build this quality.

Bouncing back from failure makes you stronger and more resilient to future failures. The more times you are unsuccessful will help you develop the ability to bounce back quickly and find new solutions to make your next attempt successful.

You’ll create an inner resolve, tenacity and a fearless determination to not fail again. This is probably one of the most important benefits of failure.

2/ Failure builds perspective

People who rebound after failure develop a better perspective on the reasons why they failed.

They are more likely to blame the failure on something they did incorrectly, which can be changed or corrected for the next attempt.

People who are badly affected by failing usually blame personal qualities such as not being clever enough or they feel they don’t deserve success.

3/ Failure helps you reach your full potential

To reach your full potential, achieve your personal best or do the impossible, you can’t fear failure.

To achieve any goal, dream, or desire, you must be prepared to accept the failures that will happen on the way.

Embracing possible failure is a vital and necessary step to future success and being the best you can be.

4/ Failure builds strength of character

Facing failure is great for building your strength of character.

Dealing with projects that didn’t go as planned or completely failed can really test your determination, courage and resolve.

But managing to pick yourself up and start again can prove to yourself that you are made of tougher stuff.

5/ Failure can make you work harder

Successful people have often said that their biggest failures became their greatest inspirations.

They are refused to be beaten by failing and start again with even more self-motivation to succeed.

6/ Failure identifies your weaknesses

Failure can help you identify any flaws or weaknesses you have in being able to accomplish specific goals.

Once identified, you can work on them until those flaws or weaknesses become your strengths.

7/ Failure can inspire creativity

Albert Einstein once said – “Insanity: doing the same thing over and over again and expecting different results.”

Failure forces you to rethink your approach and try something new.

Conclusion

It’s normal to be fearful of failure as it’s difficult for most be people to accept that they are not ‘good enough’.

Yet reacting to failure is simply a matter of perspective.

Those with the greatest success understand that failure is simply one of the many stepping stones to success.

Never let failure stop you from chasing your dreams.

REFRAMING YOUR FAILURES - Many of life’s failures are people who gave up too soon. If you study history, you will find that the best success stories have also been stories of pressing on through failure. They were not born with some superhuman-like resilience that shielded them from disappointment, self-doubt or misgivings. They each had to wage their own inner battles with fear of failure as they worked hard to overcome the external obstacles that lined their path to success.

Margie Warrell



Once upon a time, a partially deaf 4-year-old boy arrived home from school with a note from his teacher.
It read, “Your son Tommy is too stupid to learn. We cannot have him at our school.”
His mother decided she would teach him herself.
Young Tommy might have been hard of hearing, but he was a good student and grew up to be Thomas. Thomas Edison.
Yes, the man who forever changed how people lived and communicated, and whose childhood bolstered his resilience to press on through the thousands of failures that preceded the success of the electric light bulb.
He would later say, “Many of life’s failures are people who gave up too soon.”
If you study history, you will find that the best success stories have also been stories of pressing on through failure.
Too often though, we overlook the setbacks and only see the end success.
We think the person got lucky. That they were in the right place at the right time. That they were born with a genius we lack. That they were destined for greatness.
But that’s all garbage. Although it might have included a little bit of each, what ultimately led to their success was a refusal to allow setbacks and failures to define them.
Take Walt Disney. As a budding cartoonist, young Walt faced countless rejections from newspaper editors.
He “lacked natural talent,” they said.
One day a minister from a local church took pity on him and hired him to draw some cartoons in a small rodent-infested shed behind the church.
After seeing a mouse, he became inspired to draw it. Mickey Mouse was born.
Even Oprah Winfrey, my very own hero, had her fair share of setbacks, including being fired from one of her first jobs as a television reporter, being told she was “unfit for TV.”
Had she let the opinion of others define her or taken her setbacks as a sign she could never break out from her humble beginnings, she would not be one of the most influential women in the world today.
Of course, you might feel like you have little in common with people who’ve risen to the heights of Oprah, Disney or Edison.
But that isn’t true. You do.
They were not born with some superhuman-like resilience that shielded them from disappointment, self-doubt or misgivings.
They each had to wage their own inner battles with fear of failure as they worked hard to overcome the external obstacles that lined their path to success.
As Bill Marriott, chairman of Marriott hotels, shared with me in a recent conversation, “You don’t succeed by avoiding failure. You succeed by trying and making mistakes and learning and starting over.”
What distinguishes these people is that they did not become a victim to their failures.
When their efforts fell short, they pressed on.
When they fell down, they got back up. When people told them they didn’t have what it takes, they found new doors to knock on.
They each intuitively knew that failure was an event, not a person.
There are things that you and only you can do. Things that will never be done if you do not do them.
But any worthwhile accomplishment is going to call on you to trust in yourself more fully, to risk mistakes and reframe your failures as par the course of what it takes you to succeed.
Most of all, it will take stepping out of your comfort zone again and again, no matter how loud that little voice of doubt is screaming in your head to play it safe, turn back or give up.
How you choose to interpret your failures will either move you forward in life or hold you back.
Every failure can be turned into a steppingstone to success.
Every mistake is a lesson in what not to do. Every setback is an opportunity to dig deeper into yourself, to access resources you didn’t know you had and to acquire wisdom you could gain no other way.
As Richard Branson shared with me during my visit to Necker Island, we mustn’t be embarrassed by our failures.
Instead, we need to learn from them and use them to “fail forward” and succeed faster than we would had we risked nothing.
As I wrote in Brave, The things we want most lie on the other side of what scares us most.”
Unless we are willing to risk failure, we will never come to know what we are capable of achieving.
It’s why the most successful people risk failure again and again and again but never allow themselves to be defined by it.
So if your story of past failures hasn’t been moving you forward, then it’s time you rewrite one that will.
