I Failed.

I Failed.

I failed my college entrance exams. Twice.

I got bad grades in school.

I dropped out to focus solely on entrance exams. I failed again.

I've had multiple failures.

But I actually like it.

Before you consider me a psychopath, think of it this way.

If those failures hadn’t happened, I’d still be stuck in a life conditioned by society.

Right now, I’d be scrolling on Reddit, ranting about how my college sucks and doesn’t guarantee placements. Or debating how AI might replace me.

Instead, I read books, delved into philosophy, and questioned the purpose of it all. I gained skills and knowledge. The biggest lesson? I learned the art of self-knowledge.

My defeats made me realize I’d been playing the wrong games. My failures led me to ways that will lead to success the way I want it, not how society tells me it is. Every single time.

But this journey would have been smoother if I knew what I know today.

1. The Mindset To Handle Failure.

Question my each point. Let it sink in completely before you move to the next. Add your own points if you want, because this is just what I learned.

• Stop seeing failures as mistakes; look at them as feedback

  A call to re-iterate.

• Start thinking big. Stop confusing opportunities as the goal.

Each time I prepared for an exam, my focus was on just cracking the exam. Looking back, my true goal was wealth creation and freedom. I was told cracking the exam and getting a job was the only way to wealth, which I now find false.

• Choose better goals, goals that give you scope to fail and succeed.

  Because failing is assured.

• Stop making plans; build systems or action plans.

  Looking back, This point was my biggest learning:

  1. Stop building rigid plans. Stop planning for the future.

     Work in now, Think in now, Live in now.

  2. Set a action plan and then forget the result.

     “Because with one eye focused on the result, you only have one left to focus on your action.”

  3. Stay flexible and be willing to change you route, not your destination.

     If you trust the process and not stay rigid, then nature will reward you one day.

• If you don’t give up. You will get it eventually.

  This is not a if and but statement but a law. Mark my words for it.

  Stay flexible and stay resolute. Re-iterate. Have faith in yourself and in god. Stay happy and have patience.

  You will get it. That’s the mantra.

2. Some life-transforming Actions.

This just a list of habits and actions that I give most of the credit to making me realise my journey.
A simple list of Actions, if you miss them, you will regret it later.

• Inculcate Spirituality in your mindset and action

  This is my biggest attainment in life. PERIOD.

• Start Working Out daily.

  Not doing this earlier, is gonna be the biggest regret of your life. Start NOW.

• Read about Zen and Practice it.

  It is the most simple to understand philosophy, and straight-forward. But arguably one of the most life-transforming.

That’s it from my side. The rest of the tips will come only from acting. Trust The Process. Never think yourself as a loser. Loser is the one who never tried. You finding this post is enough of a testament to your effort.

Ultimately though,

Have a great day ahead, and keep working.
​
Love.
