If you have never failed, you’ve never really lived.

Failure is probably the one thing most people are afraid of. But the truth is, everyone has failed and everyone is sure to fail again.

We sometimes forget that almost all successful people have failed, but the resason to their success is them not stopping after their failures.

We tend to think that most successful people are just lucky, they just happen to be at the right place at the right time or maybe they just had the right kind of connections of network to get them there.

Success and failure work hand in hand, I’m order to learn to walk you first have to learn to fall a few times and through persistence, trial and error we take our first step and the rest is history.

Failure is therefore part of life but how you deal with it will determine your future success.

Don’t be afraid of failure it’s part of your path to success.

Learn from it.

There’s so much value in failure. Throughout life we make and will continue to make plenty of mistakes at school, university, in our relationships and throughout our careers, regardless of our experience or intelligence.

Learning through failure will allow you to learn more about yourself and from your mistakes. Failure makes us rethink, find new ways to be innovative and reach our goals.

Be open and honest about it.

Creating a transparent, open and honest environment is the key to ensuring that everyone can learn from each other's successes and failures. Being vulnerable with each other’s failures, reduce the possibility of us concealing our mistakes.

Start today and lead by example.

Fail often.

We believe in failing often, failure gives us a moment to grow, to have a bigger heart and allows our minds to open a little wider to new possibilities.

You failing is a sign that you are pushing new boundaries, creating bigger and better opportunities for your future success.

When possible, share your failures.

After failing — publicly or privately — it can be nerve-racking to initiate a conversation about what happened.

But when you are able to - having an open conversation in environments where ideas can be readily shared and constructive feedback can be given is key.

Encourage communication and adopt an open-door policy with your boss, friend or family to celebrate both your successes and failures openly without trying to hide your mistakes.

Tap into the wealth of knowledge, talent and experience that others have to offer and learn from them whenever possible.

Give yourself time to heal.

Whether you need 30 minutes or a couple of days, give yourself some time to heal after your failure and to feel what you are feeling, but also try not to overly dwell on it or ruminate for too long.

Forgive yourself, let it go, brush yourself off and regroup.

When you can, smile about it, and remind yourself that you have other successes to be proud of and that this failure can ultimately have a positive outcome that you may just not be able to see yet.
