Failure in EXAMINATIONS

 

FAILURE IN EXAMINATIONS

Any failure that we encounter simply means that we did not get the expected result. When we fail in any domain of our life, it only means that “we have failed”, it does not mean that “we are a failure”. It just means that our action was not right for us, it does not mean we are not right, or we are no good. Let us separate ourselves from the action.

It is something that has happened and cannot be undone, it is the past. Past is Passed.

We now have to focus on the present and the future.

We have two options –

1. Feel guilty about the failure, create pain. This will reduce our inner power and our self confidence. We need both of these to perform well now. So even a single day of pain and guilt is only going to reduce that power which we need the most now. 

2. Accept we have not achieved what we expected; now we will do it again. No thoughts of WHY, HOW, WHAT will people say… etc. It is over, now our focus should be – NOW WHAT DO WE HAVE TO DO. Bring our mind only to putting effort now, forget the past as if it never was.

It might come to mind again, but gently change your thought – my attention is only going to be on what I have to do now.

By doing this we will conserve energy and use it to perform well this time.
