FAILURE AND TEMPORARY DEFEAT, WHAT'S THE DIFFERENCE?

What we usually call failure is usually temporary defeat. Thus it is important we know the difference between failure and temporary defeat.

Temporary defeat is nature’s own way of ensuring that every man does not achieve his goals or set objectives.  Nature is in a state of equilibrium, and for any man to make a change, it involves changing nature’s equilibrium and this would not happen without the application of a force (strong will/desire/passion).

We must most clearly note here that both success and failure are not events that happen to us, but rather, they are the processes that result from these events. The events on the pathway to success are called momentary victories, while that on the way to failure are temporary defeats.

Today’s (temporary) defeat is usually a blessing in disguise for the reason that it brings us up with a jerk and redirects our energies along different and more desirable lines.

We know that strength grows out of resistance, and that sound character is usually the handiwork of success, setbacks and temporary defeat, which the uninformed part of the world calls failure.

Neither temporary defeat nor adversity amounts to a failure in the mind of a person who looks up to it as a teacher that would teach some needed lesson.

Failure at times could be an unseen hand, that halts you in your chosen course and with great wisdom redirect your efforts along more advantageous pathways.

What most people call failure could just be a defeat which teaches a needed lesson to those who are willing to be taught.

From the popular saying, "the downfall of a man is not the end of his life", we can, therefore, conclude by likening every downfall as a temporary defeat while remaining on the ground after the fall (without any effort to rise back) is failing.
