Those are all definitions of failure out of the dictionary. When reading about Failure, you can see why most people stray away from it and/or afraid of it. But why isn't there a definition of failure like; opportunity to success, Opportunity to try again, Time to reassess and try again, Success around the corner, You're not ready yet, or a gift! It gives a different meaning to the word 'failure' doesn't it. So why do we not look at it this way?
Failure often applies, This is the end. It is over. You are done. I am telling you, this is not true! This is only the beginning. As in my life and I know you have in yours, you have come across 'failure'. You have came across things and situations that have made you into who you are today through failure. Which if you look at what has happened through the dictionary definition, you will feel like you have let yourself down, like you have less self worth or just not at all good enough. But you have not. Through my life, I will show you that what I believe is the true definition of 'failure', is true!
