The Blessings as Failures



We are living in a society where blessing and failure are considered as two things having totally opposite lanes. It is imbedded in our minds from childhood that getting good grades means you are blessed. Majority of you guys have experienced the same ! You get first position in your 10th grade , everyone around you is like , "Oh Wow! How blessed you are" . Why ? Why the one getting less than 80% marks can’t hear that from anyone ? Maybe he is the one more blessed. How blessings are correlated only to your success? Let’s explore it a bit together.

My Failures:

I had many failures in my life of 20 years. Everyone faces failures. But, those were at personal level. Sometimes, I couldn’t get expected outcome or sometimes I couldn’t win a speech competition or a very few times I felt very low at myself. But it went bad this time because it was public.

For me , I always got good results for years and years. I was called blessed everytime. Indeed it was a blessing. But, the climax is when I got my first failure ! Yes ! I prepared for a test, did my best as always beacuse you can’t claim anything until you have tried your best. But I couldn’t get into it. I couldn’t be among those who got selected and enrolled. A FAILURE of me according to peopleA lot of SYMPATHIES from all around.

The Failure that turned out to be a Boon !

So, this failure ( I don’t even like to call a failure) was proved to be the biggest blessing for me in my two decades of life. It changed my perspective to success. It connected me to my ultimate goals. It connected me to the Divine Love. It made me feel Heavenly. I took a gap year . Where everyone said that it gonna be hard , I proved that it was magical. I was in my own world of beautiful thoughts.

The Power of Acceptance:

I learnt to accept whatever came my way. I accepted every situation , every decision, every outer circumstance with my open arms and with a big fat smile on my face. I learnt the patience. I learnt to believe in my prayers. Learnt to adapt. Learnt to stay un-bothered by people’s decisions. Connected to My Heart , my Love, the Almighty. I am sure most of you people have connected to Him through your failure. Something you desire , you work for it and you don’t get it , that’s the point where you find your God. That’s the point where you take your first step towards learning acceptance.

Our Best Friend :

So, no failure is a failure until you decide it . It always comes as your best friend. Our bad days , our hard days are our best friends because they are the ones which came to teach you , which came to make you the strongest. We should break the stereotypes of tagging failure as a bad time and not a blessing.

What is Success then ?

If we are considering failure as blessings then what about success ? Success is defined by YOU. You compete with YOU only. You have to define your own success. My success is to overcome my fears, fear of failure, fear of not getting enough outcomes . Remember! You hard-work always pays off. It always does in a one way or another. You have to stay firm , stay contemplated and don’t get shattered. Believe in yourself and your Almighty. This is what we all require. So, what’s your success and what’s your failure ? Ask yourself the definition of your success. Maybe your failure is your success like mine :-)
