This isn't a positive Blog post!
I can't think of a worse feeling than trying your all in something, putting hard hours and dedication into a project and at the end of all the work, you come out with the short end of the stick. That feeling of failure is frustrating and can drive a person mad. People say oh failure is a part of success and it teaches you things and this that and the third well so what. Still sucks, and yeah you are right about all those things but it still sucks.
Can't help that feeling, just supposed to get over it somehow and move forward, well not that simple a small failure to you can be a big failure to someone else. It only seems small because the person may not be in a big position. But even people who are in big positions like CEOs of fortune 500 companies, make small mistakes and it cost them greatly. Same level of frustration, it's just a bigger ripple effect to the outside world because more eyes are on the person.
I say this to say failing sucks and when someone fails it brings out a new side of that person. It is similar to saying everyone has a plan till they are punched in the face. Once you at that point it's the test of your stability. How you recover and what you do for yourself to make yourself happy and regain momentum, some people have a good support system and others find ways to bring their own spirits up to keep them afloat.
Regardless of what you do in life you will end up here at the point of failing and yes it sucks. No one can honestly tell you what to do at this point. Forget all the numbers and professionals that tell you why and what to do. This is your chance to look at yourself and say why, how and what for. Look inside yourself and begin to understand yourself better. I was a stranger to my own mind until I turned 22 and that is scary. 22 years of life and I honestly didn't know much about myself internally. But lessoned learn and experience shared. I failed recently and was ready to give up but I stopped and breathed for about 12 hours. Just emptied my mind and let it refresh, to new thoughts and stronger beginnings. Usually the best way to deal with letting yourself down.
