What does failure means to you?

End of opportunities? You are not worthy or everything happens for a reason?

World is full of different people and every person has a different point of view on things.

But failure is something which I am sure everyone must have faced in their life atleast once in their life.

Right? So, how did you handled that?

Did you stopped dreaming and trying? Or you kept trying no matter what?

Well, I am talking about failure today because yesterday I faced one more failure and I wanted to share that with you and want to know about your experiences.

I am a person who love to travel and I always wanted to travel on my own.

So, one day I found about a fully sponsored 6 months travel program.

I applied for that program without blinking. I applied to the program in month of May and the selection process starting month was November.

Well, I was not aware about the date so one day when I checked my mails in the morning, I saw a mail that I have passed phase 1.

It was amazing and unexpected. There was total 5 phases for the process.

They announced the 2nd phase result after a day and guess what, I cleared that as well.

It was a great achievement for me because people around all of the world applied to that program and clearing 2 phases in thousands of amazing people was not less than an achievement.

Now the result for phase 3 was supposed to come after 2 days.

I was waiting and excited. I was being positive about it. But I also made up my mind that if I don’t get selected then still it is an achievement for me.

Finally, the results were there and this time I didn’t passed. Bummer!!

The strange thing was, I was indifferent about it. Like I was still satisfied with where I reached.

But after few hours I felt a little hurt because it was a great opportunity for me to explore the world as well as myself.

I started thinking that how does other people take their failure as?

I saw some posts on our community area where the candidates who didn’t passed posted their feelings.

And most of the posts were sad. They felt like they are not going to achieve anything in their life just because they didn’t passed the process.

Some of those people also said that they are just useless. I felt bad for them.

I realized that these are not the only people who take their failure as end of their life. There are many others who thinks like this.

Though I was also one of those people but taking the failure as the end is not a good thing.

I have faced many failures after my higher studies. My life didn’t went as I hoped for. But I still look for opportunities because I believe life can be changed anytime and anywhere.

Everyday, after I woke up I check my mails first because I believe that someday there will be a good news.

Failure is not a bad thing but it’s a reality check. It can give you strength for further life or it can demotivate you. It depends on how you handle this.

Whoever reading this post, I want you to know that you are not a failure, you just faced some downs in your life.

You will have many more opportunities and who knows maybe better opportunities than before.

Universe has a way to play with us. We think that nothing is right in our life after a failure. But all we need to do is noticing the right in wrong.

Well, now I think I will end this post here. It feel so great to share what’s on your mind with people who you don’t even know.
