You Rise, Rebuild, And Become Stronger Every Time You Choose To Try Again
Nothing can define a person more than failure. Failure is not mere disappointment but a quiet reordering of your sense of identity. Success tends to be public and immediate. But failure tends to linger silently inside you.
Failure takes up residence where it can ask silent questions.
Failure is honest and direct. It does not try to sugarcoat anything. It does not try to make things easier on us by hiding behind a facade of lies. Failure tells us an uncomfortable truth.
And that truth is this – hard work is not always rewarded.
You might not always get a “fruitful result” from your hard work.
However, within the harshness of this truth lies a deep sanctity.
Choosing to try again despite failure involves something far beyond bravery. In its truest form, this act is a defiant refusal to accept the limits imposed by the experience of failure. It means having enough belief in the possibility of overcoming the experience of failure to persevere and move forward, regardless of whether or not this perseverance will yield tangible results.
The power of repetition lies in its intensity, which very few people can comprehend. Externally, it appears to be perseverance. Internally, it is an endless struggle within oneself.
It –
Raises questions,
Induces tiredness, and
Whispers softly in one’s ear about abandoning whatever is important in life.
Failure isn’t the end. If anything, it has its own way of making its presence clear.
Quiet
Confusing
And often difficult to understand at first…
It reveals itself in the silences, in those instances when plans do not work out. Gradually, you will be able to see the distinction between all that is happening externally and the silent yet truthful voice inside. Someday, it will dawn upon you that success is not the opposite of failure.
This could be the key message, although it might be quite hard to comprehend at first. Success is never linear, nor is strength necessarily loud or conspicuous. It’s a quiet, personal journey of becoming the best version of yourself.
Failure does not make you who you are. But it is how you pick yourself back up and continue to try that truly makes you – YOU.
