There is a common mistake among the youth about how they should only see the reciprocation of their endeavors in two sides of a coin; defeat and triumph.
There is no such thing as failure. Failure is but a judgement we attribute to a deed. When you really begin to understand the nature of what we deem to call ‘failure’, you will know that you are actually incapable of failing. We do not come up against failures, for we are not capable of perceiving them. We come up against obstacles and results.
The important question is: What do we decide to do with these results?
Imagine that you want to learn how to play tennis, or how to bake cookies.
The first time you go the field to learn tennis, you fail to respond adequately nine times out of ten. When you bake those cookies, they hard coarse and hard. Does that mean that you have failed in these endeavors? Do you tell yourself that you ‘lack the talent’ for playing tennis or baking some cookies?
Obviously not. You go out to the field the next day and try again. You buy more flour and ingredients for the cookies and try again.
As we discussed before, human society and the whole of civilization is founded around ideas and concepts; thoughts turned into words, and words turned into action. Sometimes, we examine some concepts, that if filtered through common sense and reason, are inherently fallacious and wrong.
The concept of failure is one of those poisonous and unfounded ideas that has afflicted the entirety of history with its malicious presence. Because I would repeat this over and over if I had to: There is no such thing as failure. There are only results that await us at the end of every road.
By indulging the growth of a nonexistent concept such as failure in our minds, we have allowed ourselves to surrender when ‘results’ are not to our liking.
Breaking up in a relationship is not a failure, it is a result. Getting low scores on your exams is not a failure, it is a result. The rejection of your application for a certain job or university is not a failure, it is a result.
Mankind has come a long way, but they could not have been worse in their approach. Ask your parents; when you were a toddler and had just learned how to stand up on your feet and walk, you would fall a lot of times.
Every time, you would get up with no struggle whatsoever, and start walking again. Can you guess why? Because back then, you had no clue about the bitterness of failure and the human society had not yet force-fed this wicked concept to you.
Sculpt this truth in the deepest depths of your consciousness; that you have never failed and will never fail. What you have are results. You can either crawl into a hole and hide away from them, or you can muster your courage and fight back.
Thomas Edison once said, “I have not failed. I have just found 10,000 ways that won’t work.”
Would you jump in the whirlpool of life and experience its unrest, or would you cower in a corner and watch from afar as the story of the world unfolds?
A BIG HUG!

Important Note!
I have been working very hard on this blog since the beginning. I have a very busy life but I am giving my best and believe me I have shared experiences that I have been coaching thousands of people and I know that the change of the Mindset should be daily. I am already grateful to see you giving upvotes to each other and you can see this with the fact that many already have 8, 9, 10 upvotes. But I'm sure that with the effort of all of us we will see a community with, 40, 50, 80 upvotes and for that everyone should get engaged so we can make it come true. I believe and we can! Resteem...
***Remember Community: Please, if you commented and upvote on a new post I did, please always go back to the previous one because if someone in the community commented lastly because of time zone differences it will be without your upvote and that would not be fair.
You all know the goal! We can reach: 50+ Upvotes each others!
Attention!!!
I'm reading all the meaningful comments from the posts.
I am here making a list of all of you who have helped build this community by voting for each other who write meaningful comments and soon I will respond to everyone with comment and thank you all because I can already see this spirit being built in this Positive Mindset community and help between all of you.
You will receive my upvote in all material and brief comments I will do this in all the posts I am following very closely and I can see what the people who are generous and contribute to this legacy that I am trying to build with all of you can become reality in a short time.
AND
First of all, I would like to thank all of you, who are the most active and proactive in this community, showing your generosity and always with meaningful comments. From now on I will always make a list of these incredible people who have helped to expand our goal of growing ever more.
And if you are not on this list, please, after making your comment, write in that comment: Include my profile in the list, because I do or want to be part of all this with all of you!
But I ask that if you are new around here you read many of the previous posts because they make it clear that we are building a community with respect among all, generosity and this blog is for those who really want to start moving their Mindset to positive and moreover be part of the growth of all of us who contribute to this blog. Please do not ask to include you in the list if you are just wanting votes or speculating because we want here people genuinely attuned to growth and good attitudes and as I have always said with Respect as the basis of all, generosity and positivity!
Remember the rules. First leave your comment meaningful and then leave your message that you want to be included in this comment. Everyone is welcome and I hope this list grows exponentially because this will be a reflection of everyone's growth. I really do not want to be able to update the list of so many people that can be included in it. Let's go together towards the 50+ upvotes to recognize the efforts of those who dedicate their time so that we can become stronger and leave a legacy of growth in our lives and in the lives of others!
ABOUT OUR LIST!!! WE NEED GROW THIS LIST! LET'S GO TOGETHER IN THIS COMMUNITY - RESTEEM!
I'm not going to put this list in all the posts because I do not quite understand why, but some people did not like me to tag them even though this list is a list of acknowledgment and thanks from the people I've observed being the ones who write meaningful comments , are generous voting for each other and contribute more to this family we are building here. So stay tuned to the text below and in the next posts.
Thanks All of You!!!!
