Failure.

We hear this word in our day to day lives.
Sometimes aimed at us, sometimes aimed at others.

What is failure?

Not doing something the way it's supposed to be done?
Not making your thing exactly like the other things?

The dictionary states that this is the true definition.

fail·ure

ˈfālyər/

noun

1.

lack of success.

"an economic policy that is doomed to failure"

synonyms:lack of success, nonfulfillment, defeat, colapse, foundering

2.

the omission of expected or required action.

"their failure to comply with the basic rules"

synonyms:negligence, dereliction

Tell me this.

When you fail, how hard is it to get back up again?
How much do you struggle to pick yourself up again?

How many times have you just wanted to lay there and cry?
Or stare dead eyed at a wall in disbelief?
Or pulled out that tool that draws in silver and turns red, wanting to use it?
How many times have you picked up your phone, wanting to tell someone, anyone, but you couldn't?
Or pick up your phone and try to find something to do so you can forget your failure?
Or obsess over ways you could have done better?

People deal with failure in many ways.

But.
There is one thing you must always remember.

Without failure, there is no succeeding.

You have to fail
Or you'll never succeed.

Then again...
Failure can crush you. Be careful not to be crushed.
