Watch This if You Feel Like a Failure

Failure is a subjective thing, just as success is subjective. Every person and society defines failure differently. Did you know that most successful people see failures as stepping stones to their goals? When somebody fails, it helps you get data point on what went wrong so they can focus on the next action steps. Unfortunately, when we fail, it's easy to feel like a failure and get discouraged. In this video, we share 5 reasons why failure is actually good for you. This way, you won't have a fear of failure ever again. Failure motivation can be useful.
“I have not failed 10,000 times - I’ve successfully found 10,000 ways that will not work.”
We also made a video for those who feel left behind: • For People Feeling Beh...

Way back 2017 and 2018 I failed my licensure exam and I could say that it really turned my life upside down. The pressure was real because everyone in the family expects so much of me, only to disappoint them especially my parents. I went through depression - didnt want to eat, kept crying, didnt wanna go out and spend time with family and friends, and I even broke up with my boyfriend at that time because all I felt that time was shame, I felt so dumb and so low, I just wanted to disappear. Even came to the point of wanting to kill myself. Funny how one exam can change your life and personality, yea? But it happens. Its been years now, but the pain is still there. It still haunts me. I even have nightmares about it. But I stopped trying, and I'm honestly so tired. I guess I was never meant to be a doctor haha.

[@RegularInvader]

This is something a lot of public schools should influence their students with. It's really pathetic how failing moments are later used as punishments to make students feel bad about themselves. A lot of teachers who favor their "top" students don't realize that they don't become all that successful at the end because they followed way too much from the book. I grew up as the C student of my family, and I assure you that I developed all kinds of successful moments that originated from failure. It's just pitiful how some of my hypocritical teachers never saw it that way.

1:48 the space shuttle that burnt up on re-entry was Columbia, not Challenger. Challenger had tragically exploded on take-off back in 1986, also killing all 7 of her crew. Though lessons were learned from this disaster too (and the designs and launch practices of the space shuttles were modified) it could arguably have been prevented from happening in the first place if the ground controllers hadn't ignored their engineers warnings that conditions weren't safe to launch.

Failure's a tough one. I was raised to believe that if I didn't perfectly perform some new task or skill or immediately and completely learn something that I'd never encountered before, not only had I failed, I WAS a failure. This makes life miserable and nightmarish. Viewing failure as a normal human activity and part of the learning process toward achieving success is much healthier and far more productive.

Recently, i got dismissed from my nursing program in college due to my grades plunging, it was mentally and physically taxing. I always thought to myself that i've failed my family, I felt so ashamed and embarrassed that I couldnt get out of bed, eat, or go to sleep. I always told people that it was meant for me, etc but in truth, it was all denial and one of my friends could clearly tell. Now, I'm trying my best to change my field of study, my family thankfully has so many connections so they can help me too. I can help in a different light! I took this lesson of failure and said to myself "I tried it, I've survived three years of it, and it's a fantastic skill set to have and know, and hey, it can and will save someone even a few seconds more." So this video, really solidified that I will make it through :3

[@auraliax1323]

i think the fear of failure has to do a lot with the shame of making mistakes and perfectionism,i'm here to comment as someone who failed in everything their entire life, literally 0 achievements, you don't have to succeed even,the value and the idolizing of success is just an idea that was created in our minds by our environment (parents, social media, school..etc), i decide everyday to accept that i fail in things, and that should never define my worth, we're looking for an emotional connection through success (either people's love or approval, a good sense of worth or anything) but who said that once we succeed we'd get that happiness we want? many famous and intelligent and successful people are depressed, because since we're all looking for what's better we'd always not feel enough, many people are failures and didn't achieve their dreams,do u think they're unworthy of existing just because? no one 'has' to be someone, maybe if we just live we'd feel that success within, trust me i care about you, and i'm still proud of u even if u failed ur whole life💗

Now, i actually am free to enjoy the trees and flowers and the birds on my journey, rather than hurrying to "somewhere" or fighting to prove myself.

[@dmtdreamz7706]

If you have something that you really want in your life, spend lots of time thinking about it. The more you think the more ideas will pop up the more creative your gonna start to get. Your subconscious mind doesn't care if your vision is crazy. It doesnt care if you dont know how to do it. When you see a thing clearly in your mind, your creative "success mechanism" within you takes over and does the job much better than you could do it by conscious effort or willpower. A different psychedelic from a different planet every nanosecond. All sorts of dreams are possible. The human nervous system cannot tell the difference between an "actual" experience and an experience imagined vividly and in detail. Synthesize "experience," to literally create experience, and control it, in the laboratory of our minds. A vision is a very emotional image, the most powerful image that you can come up with for yourself at this time. This vision will become like a hallucination in other peoples mind and this could be the cause of them creating extraordinary things.

There is no fail... ONLY "quit". If you don't quit, then you only ever suffer a happy little setback... Some may be happier or littler than others, but they're all just setbacks. Re-evaluate the approach, tweak where you believe the setback originated, and re-apply yourself. Sometimes it calls for taking a break to recover for yourself... BUT taking a break is not "quit". It's time taken to do a bit of research, to train and improve skills or make notes for changes later... It's letting your body and mind recover from the latest of setbacks, and building the courage and metal to get back up and resume progress toward your goals. ;o)
