TRANSFORMING FAILURE INTO SUCCESS
By Larry Julian
The outlook for today's economy is far from optimistic. According to the U.S. Department of Labor, most recent figures bumped the national unemployment rate up to 4.5%. Since January of 2001, 1.1 million people have joined the ranks of the unemployed. The hardest hit areas are manufacturing and wholesale trade employment, both of which have shown a consecutive decline over the past year.
In the midst of all this turmoil, those who are laid off or downsized due to the slowing economy take the hardest hit of all. While they may be hard-working, talented, and committed individuals, they fall prey to circumstances beyond their control and find themselves without meaningful employment. As a result, many are left feeling like professional failures.
The Truth Behind Failure
In reality, the real tragedy of today's business market is not the job loss
epidemic itself; rather, it is our response to those feelings of failure that
job loss often evokes. Underneath the surface, there are three hidden emotions
tied into our feelings of failure that we don't typically talk about. They are
fear, guilt, and discouragement. These emotions sabotage our long-term success
because they rob us of our talents, passion, and purpose.
For example, fear immobilizes us in the present, guilt makes us look back at things we should have done or done differently in the past, and discouragement saps us of hope for the future. When fear, guilt, and discouragement gang up, they not only rob us of our strength to overcome adversity, but they also rob us of our destiny.
Over the years, our culture has done us a great injustice. We've been taught that winning is everything and losing is to be avoided at all costs. As a result, we live a life desperate to avoid feelings of failure. The truth is that failure is a necessary component for our long-term success. These five principles will help you transform feelings of failure into motivations for success.
1. Failure knocks our ego down a notch.
Often, our egos give us a false sense of power, which ultimately can cause our
demise. When our ego gets too big, it's easy to lose focus on what's really
important because we try to control those things over which we have no control.
Failure has a tendency to knock our ego down. While this can be painful, it
teaches us to let go of things beyond our control. We learn that the world
doesn't revolve around us. This is an important lesson because we come to
understand that our work is about serving a purpose beyond ourselves. It's at
this point where we begin to relax. Because we're no longer in control, purpose
takes over where fear once resided, forgiveness overtakes our guilt, and hope
replaces discouragement. How often does your ego prevent you from turning
failure into success?
2. Short-term failure is a stepping stone for long-term success.
A common thread of all great leaders is their use of failure as a springboard to
success. Rather than obstacles, failures become stepping stones for their
personal growth. When we take the time to look, we find that every setback has a
blessing in disguise. Just as success leaves clues, so does failure. The key is
to look beyond the immediate feelings of failure and discover all the
possibilities that await. How can you use failure to your advantage?
3. Failure gives us freedom.
Too many people stay in situations they dislike simply because they're afraid of
failure. They prefer to stay inundated with urgent daily pressure because their
fear of failure makes them work harder and harder. Often these people try to
keep their grasp on the fagade of being successful. What these people don't
realize is that failure actually gives them freedom. They now have the freedom
to pursue other interests, to open a new business, to find a more fulfilling
line of work, to secure a job with better hours or better pay, and even to
design a life that offers a better balance between work and family. Before you
dwell in the depths of failure, ask yourself, "How can my failure give me
freedom?"
4. Failure makes us grow stronger.
Whether we like it or not, failure is a part of life. The question is whether it
makes us weaker or stronger. An insightful person once said, "Life is a
grindstone; whether it grinds you down or polishes you up depends on what you're
made of." We can become victims of circumstance and let failure break us or
we can grow in character and allow failure to shape us. Many times, it's not the
big failure that harms us; rather, it's a series of small failures that wear us
down and discourage us, which is the worst ill of all. Discouragement causes us
to die a slow emotional death. It happens over time without our ever realizing
it. It's during times of failure that our character is developed. We need to
have the courage to move forward with perseverance when we have no energy and
want to give up. Instead of letting feelings of failure rob you of hope, ask
yourself, "How can I persevere today?"
5. Our response to today's difficulty prepares our future destiny.
Our beliefs and actions shape our future. Unfortunately, it's so easy to allow
our failures and difficulties to overwhelm us. When we approach our life one
decision and one day at a time, we can overcome our difficulties and become the
person we're destined to be. No matter what challenges are put before us, when
we take the time to realize how precious and special each day is--even the bad
days--we can respond to every situation in a positive manner. To keep this
perspective, do what one prominent CEO does. She routinely asks herself,
"Am I willing to put my signature on today?" The signature we put on
each day authors our legacy for tomorrow. As Charles Reade said, "Sow an
act and you reap a habit; sow a habit and you reap a character; sow a character
and you reap a destiny."
How do you see the challenges before you today? Do you see your situation as the end of your success or the beginning. The choice is up to you.
