Be Success
"Success is a journey, not a destination." Ben Sweetland
Just when you thought things couldn’t possibly get any worse, they did and just when you thought things were perfect, your world came crumbling down before you. I know this has happened at least to some of you. This doesn’t mean you should accept these factors as permanent and always try to remind yourself, it will come to pass. Accepting failure has nothing to do with anyone else but it is something you must accept psychologically but you do have the power to reject the very idea from your consciousness. It's not always easy but when you understand what you once perceived as failure can later looked be looked at as knowledge acquired, then you are acknowledging what you've gained. Learn from the experience and as you do, you will become wiser. To accept failure as the victor of circumstance is basically admitting you lost. The truth is, you are always gaining something. Every situation in life gives you knowledge that you may or may not like. How you deal with it is most important. If you believe this experience is called "failure" then it is, to you. The reason why you aren't witnessing true success is because you accepted failure.
All people have been successful and all are still succeeding at something. One mans success is usually perceived as another mans loss. This is not always true. People often think that receiving temporary rewards are successful moments but true success is not merely a temporary moment. Success is something achieved when your accomplishments echo throughout the halls of eternity. You may not even acknowledge success in your lifetime but those who come after you will. You might even say success is yours because you experience it but it’s really not your success alone. Others have greatly contributed to your success, therefore it becomes the success of the people just as there success is your success. You may believe this experience is unique but it’s not. You just believe it to be. When you truly succeed you are leaving something behind for future generations. Failure on the other hand, is merely a temporary moment to reflect upon what could have been done better.
Accepting failure can have damaging effects on a person’s drive so I encourage people to protect themselves with the armor of success…Knowledge. If you do not like the feeling of accepting failure you must first psychologically refuse to accept it as a loss and use the experience to fuel your mind with understanding. You may not succeed the way you expected but even if another perceives your actions as failure, you still succeed by providing them with a life lesson of either what not to do or what to try differently. Their learning came from you because you tried to achieve something. You may not even realize you taught anyone anything but many people learn from example. So if the next man achieves what you could not, do not cling to this achievement like it was yours to begin with. Do not envy him but be thankful that you contributed to his accomplishment by paving some of the way. You can leave everything material behind but you can take knowledge with you wherever you go. Don’t try to just achieve success, achieve knowedge of self and be success. Then look in the mirror and see success. See the glory God gives us, not to hold onto for ourselves alone but to share with others. We are the glory of God and what we call failure, God calls lessons. What we call hardships, God calls tests. What we call losses, God calls opportunities to gain.
Alhamdulillah "Praise Allah"
