5. Embrace Your Humanity
Failing is not such a bad thing. There’s often humor in it. One time, I fixed a giant bowl of salsa. As I was walking to put it on the table, I inexplicably dropped the bowl, which turned over before it fell to the floor. The force of hitting the floor and the pressure from the trapped air inside shot some of the salsa straight up onto the CEILING. It was a devastating loss of salsa and embarrassing, but pretty hilarious. If you can laugh at yourself, you’ll always have the last laugh.
There’s definitely humanity in failure. Too many people walk around trying to appear perfect to themselves and others. They fight to keep this facade. But perfect performance is more of a machine-like trait than a human trait. We are broken and flawed, but that’s okay.
Good-natured people who don’t hide their flaws are generally well-liked. That’s because we “get” being flawed, while seeing a “perfect person” makes us feel less than adequate ourselves. Being flawed is the most relatable human trait! It’s like, “Yeah, I could drop a bowl of salsa like that, too.”
Conclusion
With the right perspective, your failures will be like speed bumps in the parking lot. Yeah, it’s annoying to have to slow down and go over speed bump after speed bump, but eventually, you’ll get to the highway and race off into the sunset. For that to happen, however, you must keep driving!
Let’s keep driving forward, friends, and we’ll do both good and bad things. The worst thing we can do is nothing. The lack of failure is perhaps the greatest possible failure. New frontiers require experimentation, and experimentation means occasional or even frequent failure on the way to success.
Don’t fear failure. It’s not as bad as it seems, and I mean that sincerely.

If you feel that failure is hard to accept sometimes, we do understand as we are all human being. However, let us show gratitude to our failure that have brought us to where we are right now. If we treat the failure as a way to learn, we will definitely be able to gain more from it.
Type “Yes” in the comments area to show that you are grateful to learn from your own failures in lives.
To end this post, here's another great quote that teaches us to learn from our failure.
“Failure should be our teacher, not our undertaker. Failure is delay, not defeat. It is a temporary detour, not a dead end. Failure is something we can avoid only by saying nothing, doing nothing, and being nothing.” – Denis Waitley
