Achieve Success Through Failure

Michael Jordan succeeds despite multiple failures because he continues to try. Every time failure occurred it is met with the rebuttal of perseverance or in his case another basket. As an athlete myself trying over and over again is the only way to get better. Learn from your mistakes, and don’t repeat them next time. It is all about a growth and forward thinking mindset. If you keep kicking a goal, jumping a hurdle or getting back in the saddle, at some point you will finesse your mistakes.

Failure however, does not ensure success. Whereas failure helps one develop grit, not everyone can handle failure. Those who are determined and change their ways after failure will succeed. Anyone else may get too wrapped up in the thought of failing again

to every try.
Failure can lead to success only when the individual adopts a growth mindset. Some people would choose topple and run from difficulty rather than stick it out and better themselves. An individual with a fixed mindset chooses to stay inside their own head, and it holds them back. I have lived in both mindsets. There was a time when I considered dropping out of college because I thought I wasn’t good enough or smart enough. I lived in my own head for a while and even took a semester off. Ultimately I got bored and was able to work my way back to my path.
As a student, I let the stress to trying to pay for college out of pocket and keeping up with my studies get the best of me. After failing a vital course I felt defeated and like I mentioned – I took a semester off. I knew that I had to get back on track because I had put so much into school. If I had quit then I would have eighty percent of a degree unfinished. I reorganized my finances, my studying habits and by time management and I got angry. The anger and fire helped me regain my growth mindset. I know now that no matter low life gets I can come back from it with the right mindset.
