picture is mine
It's a beautiful and chilly day out here. I had the privilege to join a team that went for an outreach in a community around my axis. Early this morning I noticed a great change in the weather. Inspite of all the numbers of cloths I wore yet it appears as if I was still naked because of the intensity of the cold. Thank God the sun suddenly came out for me to tap some vitamins that will strengthen my bones.
The topic almost took me off balance but after a brief brainstorming session within myself I was able to conceive some perspective and idea to drop something. What's that one thing that one should have a taste of in this life?
Two things are certain in life and no one can be exonerated from it. One is the time to be born and secondly the time of death. These two are cogent and it should be an expectation of everyone hence prepare for it. Everyone under the surface of the earth would taste death even though this can be disputed by any individual because of our differences and backgrounds in terms of religion, culture and other tiles.
This reminds me of what happened few years ago over my family. My two elder ones have tasted death. This informs me that no one would escape this. The question remains what would you be remembered for? Would you die just casually? Would you die just like that? I desire to know more and fulfil the mandate of God over my life.
One of the taste of life I would like to share is the issue of failure.One other thing I feel is important for a human to face in life even though it's inevitable is FAILURE, now don't get me wrong, it's sounds funny right 🤫 stay with me. I'm not saying it feels good seeing people fail but check the other side of things.
Have you seen people that are mostly lucky in what they do, I'm not even talking about hard work, there's this ignorant pride they tend to exhibit, I'm not even concerned about the pride, I'm concerned that it won't let them learn when they are supposed to learn, now you get what I was saying about FAILURE.
Failure brings us to a place of humility and readiness to learn how not to fall to that thing again (that's for reasonable people because some people would still not learn from their failures).
Besides there's no success without FAILURE, we only know what success is because FAILURE exists, but on the other hand it's something that should steer us to success not a dwelling place, some people have decided to dwell in their failures instead of being challenged to make things right.
For reasonable people, failure makes them more inquisitive as to why or what resulted to to them being in that position. It's certain that in every exam or competition there'd be person(s) who'd fail and person(s) who'd be successful, those who failed would check out for reasons why they didn't succeed, they'd be checking out for their speed, their level of smartness, and so many other factors, infact sometimes they might not be dull but slightly not smart enough to pass.
I'm sure we most have heard people say this "FAILURE is not a person but an experience", I believe it's the kind of experience that provokes success, most people that are successful today once fail and as a result of that failure they realized most of the principles they know and use today, have you ever been in a situation where someone is counselling you not to fail and his sounding so accurate as though he have experienced it but he's super successful, now that's what I'm talking about.
I hope you understood my perspective. Thanks for reading and all comments appreciated.
A man who is resolved to make it in life sees failure as a stepping stone to what he have in mind to achieve. It also reminds us that we are not immune to failure and come up with other ways that will eventually boil down to success
Oh yes thanks
