The trauma is simply to much for them.
I've failed at a lot of things and succeeded at some... Usually my greatest successes follow my greatest failures...
Don't give up on your dream! Never give up!
Failure brings with it horrible collateral damage.
You fight off feelings of worthlessness, disappointment and frustration. You are at the mercy of the 'I told you so' choir. You are humiliated on a public stage and most of your friends simply abandon you.
Failures tend to build momentum in your life until they are a snowball so large that you cannot stop them. They run their course and crash into a tree at the bottom of the slope where you dust yourself off and look around sheepishly. Ready to pick up the pieces.
The key is to learn. Learn from your mistakes, learn from your failures, learn and keep moving forward!
Life moves in years, not weeks or months. You need to think in years.
Maintaining a defeatist mindset may be very tempting, but resist that temptation and plan your route forward. Make new plans, dream new dreams, pick yourself up, you are well able!
Failure is a circumstance, not a person. You can fail, but you cannot be a failure. You can lose, but you cannot be a loser. Don't allow circumstance to determine your self worth! We all fail, we all make mistakes, none are perfect! Expecting yourself to succeed at everything you do is like standing in the rain and expecting not to get wet. We have no control over peoples' emotions, economic fluctuation or fate itself. All we can do is look for opportunities and leave no stone unturned in our quest for fulfillment. Don't stop chasing your dream! never give up, never surrender!
You are not a failure, you might have failed in the past but you are now empowered with the wisdom and experience to do it right the next time around!
Don't stop now, your journey has just begun!
