People rely on their endeavor to gain the ultimate satisfaction, success. But often the road is not smooth as we expect it to be. It is undeniably obstacles that turn out to be a turning point in the long run. We all deny it at first, but deep down we all have gone through it, we might be down at the beginning but as the night is darkest before the dawn, we too go through it and become who we want to be. We call these obstacles failures, and we grudgingly admit that we have been through it.

Is failure a spike that goes through us when we can’t have something we desire? Initially it is, but if we dig the surface beneath, it is not limited to that. Failure is actually an energy that urges our fallen spirit to rise above our own limitations to achieve what we truly desire. It can be painful but if one can get the true meaning of failure then it’s more than worth the pain that you have been through. Failure taunts us to have a go to take it down ultimately when we destroy it, we end up having the ultimate satisfaction, success.

We credit our endeavor and spirit for all that we achieve but we never credit the ones we have failed at. We never actually acknowledge what failure had given us, we just see it as a devil with horns which pulled us down. Failure is the ultimate philanthropist, who burns down for us to succeed and yet it is never credited for its contribution in making us who we are. Failure is something we look at with an attitude that it doesn’t deserve, we view it with anathema. Sometimes failure might be frustrating but it’s up to you for what you make out of it. If you take all the negativity out of failure then you are on the track you want to be, but if you see failure as a hand that pushes your head back to the ground then you are never going to stand up again.

What we all fail to see is that failure is actually a junction of ways. One of the ways is the one that brings us to the right track, whereas the other one is the one that makes us feel to give up. The latter seems the easy way, and what we usually choose, but as time passes if we realize the fact that we can still choose the way we want to go, we can take a turn and make failure a station in our journey where we changed paths for what we want then what awaits us is an inevitable ocean of opportunities ready to be turned to success with our endeavors. The difference between a human being and a better human being is actually his/her view on failure.
