Why Do We Give Importance to Failure and Reject Ourselves?

Failure and success are part and parcel of life. Without failure, it is difficult to determine the path to succeed in life and vice-versa. However, giving importance to loss might throw us into oblivion, making difficult to revive ourselves. It might also cause mental degradation, making difficult to smile and please self.

Stiff competition and growing challenges have increased the level of difficulty in life. There are a lot of people who wish to achieve the best by rejecting the worst. Most of things are, however, not received in hands with mere wish. It is important to work hard, have patience and wait for the right time. Sometimes, collapse of a situation drives the human mind into making critical and unthought-of mistakes. These mistakes are not to be repeated but get repeated without knowledge and intention. This further accentuates the criticality of situation, making things irreparable.

Thus, failure has become an important element in our thinking. We often think "If I fail, what's next?" We rarely think about success. We term success equal to destiny or luck. We are imagining about the dire consequences of failure. The mere thought of the step by step collapse of situation sends shivers down the spine. We start thinking about the fall in fame, name and money. What will the world think? Or possibly, how will I face my immediate superiors or friends or others who have always appreciated my efforts in life- this hidden thought starts making round in the mind now and then.

There are, sometimes, situations when we rarely see the light or air. We are faced with a kind of aggravation when our mind stops working. We wish to come to terms with life but unable to do so. Those things keep disturbing our routine life. We resort to all sort of techniques- physical and mental, to come out of it but no way out situation worsens the things.

Sometimes, it is difficult to take further steps in the absence of clear thoughts or clarity of mind. Loss, collapse, failure keeps haunting our beliefs. We wish to overcome the worst situation but unable to do so. We are surrounded by negativity and pessimism. This situation often drives us into rejecting self, making our life more difficult and stagnant.

The need of every single hour during failure is to hold and collect self so that things don't possibly go out of control. Self-rejection should not be allowed to enter the mind as it can kill the spirit of survival. Alternative methods are always available to deal with the worst situations.
