The earlier we know that failure is a part of life, the better for us. I’ve always wanted everything and every aspect of my life to be all green and when I see a little red, I always start all over again or even dump it.
Mistakes? I so much dislike them. I always want to be as perfect as I can but life’s proving me wrong especially when I started trading Forex.
After I was done learning Forex for three months, I finally funded my Forex account for the first time and started trading. It kept going well until I had a red day. A red day? I was so angry that the only option I gave to myself was losing all my money into it.
Once I fail, I get frustrated that I want things to end right away.
That kept happening until I decided to sit down one day and calculate all the money I’ve lost into Forex. Then, it was over two hundred dollars. A part of it isn’t my fault but in most cases, I’m supposed to be calm when I fail instead of wanting to lose it all which I do all the time.
How come failure pushed me this much to willingly lose all my money because of a single failure? How come I wasn’t smart enough to be aware of the parts where I failed so I can learn from them? At last, I accepted failure. I accepted that as a human, I’m bound to fail so I picked up a strategy so I can recover from all the losses I’ve had earlier.
Then, I started to manage my failure. Loosing a whooping sum of two hundred dollars got me back on my feet and I started accepting failure. At first, it wasn’t easy for me. I couldn’t imagine seeing a red but life made me know that failure is normal and we gotta live with whatever life dishes to us.
Also, I began to input that into my normal life. Some days, you’ll succeed and some days, you’ll fail. Why not accept it and stop deceiving yourself?
Failure is hard to accept but once you do that, your life will begin to get better.
When I also started accepting that failure occurs in life, in my business, things began to get better.
Failure is a part of life!
