You know that feeling you get when you try something and it’s not a total fiasco, but things just don’t seem to go your way?
Whether it’s relationship troubles, an unexpected interview fail, or just not getting that job offer you were so sure would be yours, there will be times in life when we’ll all hit stumbling blocks.
But take heart! When these setbacks happen, they’re actually opportunities for change.
This post is a collection of 15 personal failures that can lead to success because nothing happens if nothing changes.
The beauty of change is the opportunity for new beginnings where we have the chance to try again and still end up with something better than before…
1. Not getting that job you were banking on
You know what they say: ‘If at first, you don’t succeed, try and try again.’ Or maybe not. This is mostly because people are impatient and think instant success means hitting the jackpot straight out of college.
So this next time you don’t get the job you were counting on, ask yourself: ‘What’s one good thing that can come out of this?’ Because it’s this process that will teach you resilience and make you wiser for the next time around.
