Failure is my favorite subject. For I have spent my life failing. My failures have not been once-in-a-lifetime events. They have been too numerous even to begin listing them here. Let me brag a bit more. My failures have never been ordinary failures. Whenever I failed, I was literally on the street not knowing where my next meal would come from.
Jim Rohn, the foremost success and motivational guru of our century and a person I admire most, once said failures should conduct seminars so that we can learn from their failures. That is why I got inspired to write this piece.
Failure is celebration time!
History is full of people who failed even thousands of times, and what they did with those failures has made humankind lead a life which would have been unimaginable but for those failures. Whether it be Thomas Edison or Colonel Sanders, their failures have created products and lifestyles that have changed the way the world lives.
Therefore, what happens when a determined individual fails and how do failures ultimately become a celebration?
People who fail often are natural leaders.
Leaders Do. They redo. They do not wait for precedence and play it safe. They are looking at the future and willing to take calculated risks to embrace a future that would make life better for others. They are perfectly willing to fail in the bargain. They take responsibility for their failures and learn from them. They have a passion for what they do, improve upon their failures, and persist until they make a success of it.
People who fail learn more.
Leaders thrive on failures. They, in fact, seem to welcome and embrace them. Because they know they can make a difference, they never fear failure. They persevere in spite of failures. Every failure for them is learning on how not to do something or how to do it better. For achievers, failure is a way of life. Every failure makes them that much more determined to succeed.
Failure as a weapon.
Failure is a weapon for true-blue leaders. They learn the disciplines through their failures. They sharpen themselves against the grindstone of failure. There is no excuse for failure, only a determination to succeed.
Failures program you for success.
Every failure has a built-in mechanism to autocorrect and reprogram you for success. Therefore, failures are just a way of programming you for improved success. You only need to activate the autocorrect mechanism and give it all you've got for it to work successfully.
Fear of failure is the biggest roadblock to your success. When you have overcome the fear of failure, you have overcome your procrastination and excuses for inaction. Thereafter, you are well on your way to fail, learn, and succeed like never before.
If you have started to fail, isn't it time for celebration? You are already well on the road to success!

This is a great article on the possibilities of failure. It is difficult at times to keep your eye on the "growth possibilities" of failure, so you also need to have dedication to the goal and to weather failure with perseverance.
Failure is not an absolute - it is a spiral or series of problem-solving exercises to come closer to success.

That sure is a motivating one.
It's great to know that failure is the time for celebration because if someone hadn't failed earlier, we would have lived in a different world. It's great to fail. It also has the joy of letting someone win, especially when the competitor is weaker than you.
Thanks for the article.
