Failing Forward!!

By Michael Allan

Failure is not an option!!!

 It’s guaranteed to occur and it will happen again… and again… and again… as long as it is necessary to stimulate your growth and evolution.

Failure is the opportunity for you to transform and change from old patterns, which no longer serve or suit you.  Failure creates necessary drive to step away from the comfort you now know into a future that is unknown.  This comfort may be holding you in a pattern of maintaining your status quo. 

Failure is the universe assisting you in breaking free, getting unstuck from yourself or former self in order to evolve and be reborn stronger and more complete than before much like the mythical phoenix. In essence, mythology depicts the phoenix as a large bird that is reborn from the ashes of its predecessor.  The phoenix must die in order to be reborn and regenerate bigger, better, bolder than ever before.

 Failure is an opportunity to remove yourself from the hamster wheel you’ve been on, reevaluate your situation, life and goals in order to choose a new direction and better path.  A path that is more aligned with your higher self and the quest you’ve challenged yourself with upon incarnation.  

Was it fear of failure that stunted your growth?

Fear, anxiety and worries are simply negative thoughts about something that hasn’t happened, yet limiting your possibilities and stopping you from moving forward in this life.  The end result will always be more failure.  Thoughts power beliefs.  Beliefs will directly affect your attitude.  Attitude affects actions or lack thereof.

We need to change the way we think of failure.  We need to see it as an opportunity to hit the reset button on a video game. It’s the opportunity to get on the path your higher self always wanted for you and is driving you towards. Through adversity, pressure and failures the cycle of being lost or not in control of oneself and your life can be broken.  Failure abruptly breaks you free from a negative hypnotic pattern that you’ve been in. 

All negative thought habits can be broken and changed by facing failure and adversity head on.  This after all was the intended purpose of the life event.  To shift your way of thinking about yourself, your powers, abilities, beliefs and your true purpose in this life.  If one doesn’t change negative thoughts quickly they become habit re-creating a downward spiral entrapping, which will then bring about the cycle of failure. 

The will power of those that don’t believe in themselves and that doubt their potential and abilities will be broken effortlessly. When you have the mindset and understanding that this adversity or failure happened for a reason, a very necessary reason that is driving you to perfection you are manifesting the necessary universal energies, forces and tools in your life to overcome any obstacle and strengthen yourself from the hardship.

We can begin to see now how adversity and failure are the sculpting tools on this amazing work of art… YOU, which is leading to overall perfection of oneself. So, if you must fall. Fall forward and become the master, rising to the challenge.
