Failures

My mother always told me failures can always be a good thing or a bad thing, depending on how you take it. I completely agree with that because I believe it makes you a stronger person by pushing yourself to do things harder. If you fail and take it as how I did before, then you will take your failures as that you can’t do anything right in life. I think of failure for me, is disappointing your parents or in my case, my mother. Before, I always thought of myself as a failure; first because I didn't get into a UC straight out of high school like all my friends. Second, I would always get on my family’s nerves. Third, I never had a relationship with God. I always failed tests, always found myself alone and didn’t always make my mom proud. Then suddenly things changed once I started getting into church and changed my mind set of not being a failure but taking those failures to push me harder to succeed.
Failure to everyone is something negative and down breaking. Failures is something to remind you, you are not good enough and you can’t succeed in life. You have those negative people around all the time and that they only notice all your failures but not the good qualities you have. Because those who do take their life failures in a positive way, I don’t know how they do it, but they always find a positive route to go. They don’t let one bump on the road stop them from their dreams and goals. That is how all of us should be, be optimistic and have faith that you will succeed in life. You don’t see Walt Disney, Steve Jobs, or anybody who are successful take people’s negativity to the heart. We should do something about our failures and make something beautiful come out of it, instead of crying that we didn’t make it at least we tried and we can choose to keep going. I feel as that failure only brings your closer to your dreams and that with failure you are more of a human than ever.
