We are attuned to plan & strategize Success. However margining, identifying, probing analyzing failures does not enjoy the same spirit. Seldom it is edified how to accept failure & use it as an opportunity. Henry Ford failed & went broke 5 times before he succeeded. History has documented many failures that superseded success.
Undergoing Failure in the materialistic world is loud, harsh mortifying. People take pride to glorify others failure. As listeners we have expressed our joy and interest to such breaking news to be our daily bread. Marketing & business pundits augment profits/success at any cost. The abuse of conducting oneself unethically to bring about success is an increasing mantra. Fear of failure deprives many to get started on tasks or affect any change in ones existing status. Failure is not a bad word but requires someone to tell us what is right or wrong in our BEHAVIOUR & THOUGHT.
A failure to connect to ones Creator is not an option nor pardonable, it is a must. Empower yourself & reach out to your holy scriptures and see what awaits to guide you.
Gurbani says (pg931) The One Shabad, the Name of the Lord, will never fail you; the Guru grants honour and understanding. (pg262) The Divine Guru is my companion, the Destroyer of ignorance; the Divine Guru is my relative and brother. The Divine Guru is the Giver, the Teacher of the Lord's Name. The Divine Guru is the Mantra which never faits. The Divine Guru is the image of peace, truth and wisdom. The Divine Guru is the Philosopher's Stone - touching it, one is transformed. The Divine Guru is the sacred shrine of pilgrimage, and the pool of divine nectar; bathing in the Guru's wisdom, one experiences the Infinite. The Divine Guru is the Creator, and the Destroyer of all sins; the Divine Guru is the Purifier of sinners. The Divine Guru A existed in the very beginning, throughout the ages, in each and every age. The Divine Guru is the Mantra Of the Lord's Name; chanting it, one is saved.
True success is not avoiding failure, but learning what to do with it.
