How failure leads to success ?

If you failed, we🤝 are at the right place at right time😉

Time for a break !

I will start with the question itself that “How" failure leads to success.

We all encountered that one point where we all felt in someway that it’s the ultimate failure point and everything seemed hollow and at that point someone told us that it’s ok to fail and it’s just a stepping stone to the destination (checkpoint). All that appears mere bullsh*t cause we are unable to cope up with the temporary rejection and at that time someone is trying to sooth us with his/her philosophy of failure-success trade-off 😂(though he/she is intentionally right at his/her place).

But this condition can be made a lot easier to cope with, with just a slight change of perception about success-failure ride.

Let me start with what I reflected one day on my journey from market to home.

I was riding my two-wheeler on a local street and that 5min journey was taking way more than the usual time just because there were lots of “speed breakers" on my way.

Suddenly I realised the real significance of speed breakers on the road.

Speed breakers are made to assure the safety of pedestrians along with that of drivers, but the thing to be highlighted here is :

Speed breakers are those hurdles which gives us real thrill of speed. How🤔?

.

.

When a speed breaker comes in our way, we need to slow down and all that adrenaline which was running through our veins gets to rest just by the glance of a speed breaker. But the very next moment we cross the speed breaker the first thing done by us is, we accelerate our vehicle like we forgot our phone on our ex’s house😂.

If there is no speed breaker on the road, journey might become smooth one or monotonous too in some cases. So to give us a chance to experience that upsurge of adrenaline by rising fury of engine, speed breakers are planted on roads.

We can experience acceleration only when the vehicle decelerated the last moment.

Why I am telling all this😁?

This scenario of speed breaker holds analogy with that of life.

Our life is like a road with uncertain speed breakers, with ups and downs of life like the ascend and descend on a speed breaker.

Here they give us another chance to accelerate our life, since we start with new energy and more speed.

Let’s go !

So next time you encounter a speed breaker either on road or in your life, get your tank filled up with a new pair of nitro’s for another exciting and thrilling ride, who knows you may end up on a breaker less highway.

Thanks😇 for your stop, you may excel now with full throttle and enjoy your ride.

And also, keep smiling😳😂
