Failure is Part of Life

by tempeste

Failure is part of life;
when a child falls it cries
but then instinctively
it will struggle 'n eventually rise

How people deal with failure
is the key factor in achieving
success or not in life later.

People that consider failure
a sign of weakness
or inadequacy on their part;
inevitably, their inner drive
will take a nosedive
and fizzle out
under a mountain of doubt. 

A negative mindset confines
and defines losers, mopers, no-hopers
who will never reach their potential.

There are those instead that
treat failures like stepping stones;
means that help them acquire experience.

A healthy dose of self-confidence
allows them not to fear defeat
 but to face, embrace it, 
for in every failure 
there is a lesson to be learnt
which will move them forward
and make them more skilled
and prepared for the next trial.

Ultimately, perseverance and endurance
will pay off and dreams will become
achieved goals and lifetime triumphs.
