5 Keys to Overcome Failure We all fail, but what many people don’t realize is that failing is a key ingredient of success. Anyone who's ever succeeded has also failed many times before they were successful! So how do you overcome your failures on your way to success? Here are 5 keys to overcoming failure. 1. Learn From Your Mistakes and Failures. Learning to ride a bike is not an easy task. You will fall off 100 times before you succeed in your attempt, but it's worth all of the hard work because once that first pedal turns smoothly with no input from yourself (or any other force), nothing can stop someone who knows how cool they are at riding! Action Step: Write down the top five things that you learned from your last mistake or failure. 2. Don’t Dwell on It. Now that you have learned something from your mistake, move on. Don’t dwell on your past. You can’t tell where you are going if you are looking backward. Also, dwelling on your past failures will keep you in prison right where you are. Action Step: Read what you have written down in Key 1 (The 5 Things You Learned). 3. Don’t Be Afraid to Try Again. The fear from your last failure shouldn't stop you. You just need to learn how again and keep at it until you succeed! So many people give up when they fail, but that's because their mindset is all focused on the bad times. Your greatness awaits within those moments where things go wrong - now is a great time for new beginnings as long as we have faith in ourselves Action Step: Take what you have learned and try it again now that you are better prepared 4. Surround Yourself with Positive People. No matter what it is that you are trying to achieve, surround yourself with successful people that have done what you want to do. One of the best ways to overcome failure is to learn how other people just like you overcame failure. This will not only encourage you but give you proof that it can be done. Action Step: Find a person or a group of people who are successful and get around them as soon as possible. 5. Realizing Failure is Part of the Learning Curve. Failure and mistakes aren’t fun but they are what help us learn to be great at whatever it is we are trying to achieve. “There are no secrets to success. It is the result of preparation, hard work, and learning from failure.” Action Step: Think back to a time when you succeeded. Then think how many times you failed or made mistakes to get to that success. Now that you have the 5 Keys to Overcoming Failure, go out there and just do it! You have a seed of greatness inside of you. Don’t let anyone or anything stop you from reaching your full potential in life.
