Nine times out of ten, whatever it is that you try, whenever you try, however you try, wherever you try, chances are, you will fail. The reality is, failure is everywhere. Most of the time people will try to do something they don't always succeed. In fact, most of the time, they don't succeed at all. Still, the world goes on. Still, the world hasn't fallen apart.

1. How to Fail Your Way to Success

2. Let’s get something out of the way real quick: failure is everywhere.
That’s right. Nine times out of ten, whatever it is that you try, whenever
you try, however you try, wherever you try, chances are, you will fail. The
reality is, failure is everywhere.
Most of the time people will try to do something they don’t always
succeed. In fact, most of the time, they don’t succeed at all. Still, the
world goes on. Still, the world hasn’t fallen apart.
People haven’t gone crazy. The streets haven’t filled with angry people,
but failure is everywhere. You have to always remember that when you
encounter setbacks in whatever it is that you’re trying to do. Whether
you’re trying to get good grades at school, whether you’re trying to fix or
start a relationship, whether you are trying to fix or start a business,
failure is always around the corner.
You can’t always hit a home run. In fact, most of the time, you strike out.
Unfortunately, people have this expectation that they have to always
succeed. The problem is if you look at life that way, you fail to learn from
your failure to success. You have to remember that success really is set
up by a series of failed attempts before. If you look at failure from this
perspective, failure isn’t really as bad as you think it is.
If anything, failure is a necessary ingredient that makes success all the
sweeter. Keep the following discussion in mind when looking at the
failures in your life. More importantly, these discussions help you figure
out how to fail your way to ultimate success.
What is negative failure?
Usually when people think about failure and talk about failure, they are
talking about negative failure. Negative failure is a concept that we are all
familiar with. Negative failure is the most common definition for failure.
What is negative failure?
It is the failure that you see all the time. It is when people quit. It is when
people stop trying. It is when people give up on their dreams. This is the
kind of failure people normally talk about. They think that this is the
ultimate definition of failure.

3. While negative failure is true, while negative failure is heavy, it is just one
side of failure. You have to remember that the surest way to fail is to quit.
Once you quit, you have failed for all time.
Why?
You are no longer taking action. You are no longer trying. You have cut
yourself off from all possibilities of success. That is the ultimate definition
of negative failure. Fortunately, this is just one aspect of it. It is by no
means the complete definition of failure.
What is positive failure?
Positive failure is when you don’t quit. Positive failure is when you get
frustrated, you fall down, but you get up again. Positive failure is when
you’re feeling trapped, but you keep going. In other words, positive
failure is when you don’t let the challenges get the best of you.
Positive failure is when you establish a goal behind your failure. The real
goal behind positive failure is to have failure lead you to something more
productive. It doesn’t necessarily mean leading you to success but
leading you to something with a more productive outcome.
In short, positive failure is all about setting up a process where you keep
learning and trying until you eventually build a platform where you can
reach the place where you need to go.
Another way to describe positive failure is deliberate failing. In short, you
know that you’re gonna fail, but you fail on your own terms. You know
that you’re gonna fail, but you do it in such a way that you can get
lessons that increase your chances of your success next time.
Fail and see the emotional urgency required by success
The first key element of positive failure is to fail and see the emotional
urgency required by success. Let’s face it. If you want to be successful, it
must be real to you. It must be emotionally urgent to you.

4. People who don’t succeed look at success as something that they will
get to a few years down the road. They look at success as something
that may be fun, may be worth having but the time is not now. If you look
at success this way, there is no emotional urgency.
People who succeed do so because there is emotional urgency pushing
them forward. They see an emotional component to them reaching their
goals. People who put in the world, people who put in the action, people
who put in the planning that’s needed to truly succeed are driven by
emotional urgency.
One of the best things that can happen to you when it comes to failure is
to fail and see that you failed because emotional urgency is needed. This
is a key lesson that you need to learn so you can take your efforts to a
whole other level and see the consequences of mediocrity or
complacency.
You cannot become excellent by shooting for the middle. You cannot
become the best at what you’re doing by striving to be average. See
what’s wrong with this picture? In other words, you cannot get to point A
if you’re trying to get to point B. It doesn’t work that way.
Unfortunately, many people try to get the most out of life by putting in the
least amount. It’s not gonna happen. You may be able to achieve that
once you’ve reached a certain level, but if you’re just trying to achieve
success right now, it’s not gonna happen. You have to put in the time.
You have to put in the effort. You cannot be complacent. You cannot be
mediocre. You have to shoot for excellence.
One of the best that can happen is for you to realize that mediocrity and
complacency leads to somewhere that is very far from success. One of

5. the biggest benefit you can get from failure is to see that mediocrity and
complacency lead to dead ends.
Fail and see the crippling power of regret
One of the most positive things that can happen to people is when they
encounter a setback, and they experience regret. Once they experience
regret, they realize how crippling it is.
When you’re always looking back, it’s very hard to look forward. When
you’re always trying to do a post-mortem on things that happen a few
years ago, it’s very hard to look at the future and be very hopeful.
If you want to succeed, you have to look ahead.
You cannot always keep looking back. You cannot engage in regret. This
is why regret is so crippling. One of the best things that can happen with
failure is that you will see how crippling regret is.
If you fail hard enough, you may realize that by looking at the past,
you’re not doing yourself any favours in the present. More importantly,
you’re not laying the ground work for future success.
There are many kinds of failures that will fill us with regret. There are
many kinds of failures that will make us doubt ourselves. Instead of trying
to run away from these failures, truly soak in the emotional gravity of
regret and self-doubt.
Celebrate it.
Resolve to no longer regret, to no longer be in doubt. That’s when you
start seeing the light at the end of the tunnel.
Failure leads to the appreciation of the right planning
One of the most common reasons why people fail is because they fail to
plan. As the old saying goes, if you fail to plan, you’re planning to fail.

6. It really is that simple. Unfortunately, many
people try to get things right the first time around. It’s not gonna happen.
Why? You did not prepare. You did not train. You did not have the right
mindset.
Still, many people think that they are entitled to hit a home run once they
step up to the plate. Then, they get mad at the world and mad at
everybody else that things didn’t pan out.
You have to understand the proper role of the right kind of planning.
Unfortunately, people only realize this when they fail. In fact, many
people have to fail time and time and time again to finally realize that
they need to have the right plans.
Failure leads to appreciation of the right goal setting
It’s one thing to have a plan, it’s another to have a goal. What is the
difference? Well, everybody can plan but it takes a lot of commitment
and a lot of dedication to actually set goals.
Why?
There are deadlines related to goal setting. Moreover, goals have to be
smart. They have to be realistic. They have to be achievable. Also, there
has to be a method to goals.
People don’t even get around to doing goals. They just think that they
are planning. What they are actually doing is they’re wishing. They are
hoping. They are not setting goals. They’re not doing correct planning. If
you want to succeed, you have to set the right goals.
Unfortunately, many people have to wait until their plans completely fall
apart, and they miserably fail for them to realize the power of proper goal
setting.

7. Failure leads to appreciation of the value of timing and
deadlines
Have you ever noticed that there are certain people that happen to be at
the right time and at the right place? Have you ever noticed how lucky
these people may seem?
Well, if you’ve really looked at what they are dong, chances are, they’re
not really that lucky.
Maybe one in ten is completely lucky. However, the other nine are there
for a reason. The other nine have actually put in the work and put in the
effort, and planning needed to be at the right place and at the right time.
As the old saying goes, the harder I work the luckier I get.
You have to appreciate the value of the right time and the right deadlines
as well as the right efforts for you to achieve success. Oftentimes, it
requires a massive failure for us to realize the value of timing and
deadlines.
You can be a great goal setter, but if you don’t discipline yourself by
imposing deadlines on your goals, nothings gonna happen. You’re just
going to look at your goals, and the success that you’ve always dreamed
of will remain exactly that, a dream.
You have to appreciate the value of timing and deadlines to achieve the
success that you deserve. Unfortunately, it takes catastrophic failure for
some people to realize the value of these factors.
What doesn’t kill you only makes you stronger
Failure, as mentioned above, happens all the time. You should not
become so emotionally married to failure that it cripples you from trying
again. You have to remember that it takes effort, discipline and
commitment to turn nothing into something.
If anything, life is a test of character. Life gave you nothing, but life
expects something from you. The real winners in life are the ones who

8. put in the time, effort and dedication to truly developing a character that
can produce results time and time again.
Life is a test of character.
That is what you are going to die with. That is what people will know you
for. Are you going to expect things to be easy? Are you going to expect
things to be handed to you? Are you going to expect things to be fair to
turn out well? If you expect things that way, then prepare to be
disappointed?
Life is unfair. Life is stacked against you.
Are you going to let your failures defeat you or are you going to learn
from your failures? Are you going to stay on the floor and not to try
anymore or are you going to give up?
You have to remember that the biggest successes in history are people
who’ve tried many times before and failed. They didn’t let their famous
failures define them. In fact, whatever didn’t kill them made them
stronger.
How?
They learn from their failures. This is the key. You have to repeat this to
yourself time and time again: what doesn’t kill me only makes me
stronger. Repeat that every single day, every time you try, every time
you fail, repeat that. When you turn that into a mantra, you will then
remember all the other factors listed above. They can help you turn
defeat into the sweetest victory of all.
Whether you’re trying to make money online or whether you’re trying to
finish your education or save a relationship, failure is everywhere.
Failure is a given.
With that said, you can control how you fail. You can choose to fail
miserably and never to try again. You can choose to let your failure
define you and shrink your world of possibilities, or you can choose to do
it in such a way that it empowers you.

9. You can choose to learn from your failures. Finally, you can choose to
accept victory in your life. At the end of the day, it’s all about your choice.
Are you going to make progress or are you going to choose to.
