We all have gone through failures in our lives. However, only a select few are able to use it as a teaching opportunity to improve their future performance. It's normal to want to steer clear of situations that might go wrong. Being unsuccessful can be painful and embarrassing. Failure is characterised as a lack of success or as failing to live up to a standard. Most of us don't go into anything with the intention of failing. We certainly don't want the failure label attached to us. Failure has a purpose. We may draw lessons from it, gain new knowledge, and improve moving forward. Sometimes, failures teach us something and provide us with new information to advance us towards our objectives. Let us check out 4 best teachings by mystic Yoga Guru and the Founder of Isha Foundation Sadhguru Jaggi Vasudev on overcoming the fear of failure.
4 Best Teachings By Sadhguru Jaggi Vasudev To Remove Fear Of Failure
1. There is no such thing as failure. Failure is an idea because success is also a stupid idea. Instead of trying to change the world, change the idea. If you just change that, everything is great. Every idea, thought, emotion or value that you have is picked up from somewhere and it rules you from within. This idea of success is not even your idea. It is somebody else’s idea of what success is. Your religion, your society and your culture have trained you to believe that this is it. Don’t become a slave to somebody’s idea; that is the first and foremost success. - Sadhguru

2. Success and failure are not in the volumes of money flowing into your life. Success and failure are not dependent upon the recognition that you find in the world. You are successful in life if you know how to walk with joy even through hell. - Sadhguru
3. For one who is looking at the simple events of this life itself as the goal of life, for him, there is failure and success. For one who sees this life as a stepping stone for a larger possibility, there is no failure. Whether you have a good deal or a bad deal, whatever the situation is, it’s very useful – you use that for your well-being. - Sadhguru
4. Carious situations in your life can either be used to make yourself stronger and better or you can sit and cry. This is the choice you have. Everything, it doesn’t matter what happens, even the most horrific event in your life can also be used for your growth and your wellbeing. - Sadhguru
