My best successes came on the heels of failures

Failure is terrible. Failing for one of your favourite projects is the worst kind of pain. But does this failure make you give up and throw in the towel? Or it pushes you to give another shot to be the best at what you do.

If such situations come up when I am working on building ProofHub, the only choice I have is to continue pushing upwards and onwards. For me, failure has been a stepping stone for developing greatness. You have to lose to win. Here is what I have learned from my failure that leads me to big-time success.

Failure forces us to be more determined

Determination is not a quality that a person is born with. ProofHub helps me to have everything sorted in an organized way. So when the time comes for action, everything is done smoothly. When things are related to big-time success, I want to make sure everything is on point.

Setting up a successful business and overcoming bad circumstances is everything that requires massive determination at all costs. Determination, motivation, persistence is not all within a person, the desire to succeed is what makes these qualities grow. You have to endure through failure with determination to be super-successful.

Failure breeds creativity

One day you’ll be flying high like a unicorn and the other day you would feel offbeat. Sure you’ll have ups and downs, but finding creativity whenever failure hits you can be a push to something big. The story of the apple hitting Sir Isaac Newton over the head and then the theory of gravity is the result of the creativity of Sir Isaac Newton. Failures can bring you closer to creativity if you are in the proactive phase. It is said, Failure + Failure = Creativity. Failure breeds creativity because it forces you to redesign your situations until things work out.

Failure shows us who we are

Failure makes you a more peaceful person. It can make you more honest with yourself. You will get to know yourself better. You will know your character, your positives, and negatives, you’ll be able to trust yourself more when making future decisions. With all this, you’ll be surprised by how much you start knowing yourself and how much you learn. It allows you to go after what you dream and you’ll be able to do more of what other people think of you can and what you think of you can.

Failure has done many things for me, but it doesn’t do any of these things if we don’t let it. Allow it to grow you. And you grow from it.

How many of you have failed and just feel like giving up? Share your experiences. I’d love to know!
