Why You Probably Gonna Fail
You gonna fail as a friend,
You gonna fail as a partner,
You gonna fail at your job or career,
You gonna fail as a mother or a father,
You gonna fail a lot.
But that is very much okay. No, it is actually great. Because when you fail it means that you are trying to make a difference, to do better, to be better. Failing is just part of the process, the most important part of it. For most of our lives, we have been taught the opposite. If you attended any school we were not allowed to fail. I remember holding back my math book and waiting for everyone else’s results so that I could be sure of mine. It worked perfectly. However, that isn’t how it is in the real world. You will make decisions and create things without knowing whether they are right or wrong until they are out there in the world. More often than not, they will fall flat on their faces like a looney tunes character. And that is okay. It is something to work worth not the flat looney tunes character but the results of what you were trying. Taking in what didn’t work and you will move closer to getting it right a little more often.
Sometimes we worry more about people seeing us fail than failing itself. Sorry to break it to you like this, unless you have an arch-nemesis, people do not care. They laugh for a week if you lucky two. And then move on. Unlike your close family or friends who will mock you to the grave over the one time you burnt the chicken, they are a special case.
We often fail when we are actually trying to do and be better. That is a good thing and something we all should be proud of, trying to be better. It is way better than the other thing.
