FAILURE. It is an alarming word. No one would want to have it in their lives but you cannot avoid it. At some point of your life you would have failed at something. Felt like "this is it!" Felt like "everything is over now"

I have chosen to share a thought with you on a topic which is regarded very negative. But, I dont want the readers of my blog to end up feeling negative after reading it. Its my earnest effort to lighten up spirits or bring in a smile with a thought provoking explanation and my job is done for the day.

Failure according to me is very powerful. In fact more powerful than success. I am talking about the magnitude of the impact failure can have on our lives compared to success. I always have an immense respect for the word failure. I regard a true failure is when you give your best and you don't reach your goal. Its when you sweat it out and yet the job is undone. Its when you do what it takes to make sure everything is alright but still feel incomplete and lost somewhere. I am talking about those failures which have grace and solidarity. I feel it is better to make an intelligent mistake rather than trying to be too perfect to be called stupid.
In life's journey, we encounter many pitfalls. We also encounter victories. Many times, our pitfalls would have paved the path to our victories. Failures teach us to be patient, to be tolerant. It rekindles the thirst to go in pursuit of what we envision. And next time when failure stares at you in the face, you stare back in confidence as now you know, what follows a failure is success!
