3 kinds of failure All successful people experience

Stepping out, trying something new, and stretching your capabilities almost automatically means that you will fail. Failure is a byproduct of success. Failure means that there is a lack of success. We look for signs and clues to tell us if we are heading in the right direction. We look even harder for these clues when we are stepping out into the unknown.

Some times, even successful people fail. There are devastating failures all successful people experience. Here are three examples of failure all successful people experience.

1) People will discredit you.

It is almost guaranteed that people are going to down-talk your capabilities. This makes achieving success especially hard, because of our individualistic culture. We are wired to measure success by our ability to differentiate ourselves positively from the group. If the group is down-talking you, this can be interpreted as evidence indicating that you are a failure. The pattern is that, someone that is close to you will tell you that you are not good enough. They will tell you that you do not have what it takes. Do not let those seeds take root. Do not internalize this negativity. You have everything that you need to fulfill your destiny or purpose.

2) You will be fired or rejected before you succeed.

The universe has a way of steering your course. Being rejected from an opportunity is not the end the world. It is difficult to feel as though you are succeeding, if you are rejected. Rejection will immediately trigger your threat system. It’s hard because it challenges your security. When you put yourself out there and show all of your vulnerabilities, rejection will make you feel like a complete failure. Do NOT take rejection as evidence that you are not a success. Rejection is required to set you up for real success. We all cry, get down, and even become angry when we are rejected. These emotions are a part of our refinement process. Just remember that feelings change and rejection is a part of the success formula.

3)  You will experience complete frustration.

Frustration is a devastating element of success. The frustration will come from not making enough money, not getting enough etc; Frustration is a part of the pattern of success. I can’t think of anyone that did not experience a little frustration trying to reach their ultimate goals. Chasing success requires that you dig deep to uncover those hidden strengths that you knew never existed. These strengths represent what you know about yourself that others do not. Uncovering unforeseen strengths requires a bit of resistance. The frustration that you feel trying to move forward will uncover things about yourself that you never knew existed. You have everything that you need to achieve your dreams.
