We all had an experience with failure whether it was a school test, a university project, or a trespassing work deadline… etc.
However, failure does not define your future.
Oprah Winfrey is one of the best celebrity examples that went from failure to success. When her first boss told her that she is too emotional and does not fit television, she neither pulled her hopes nor accepted to let go of her dream. On the contrary, she excluded her doubts and continued. She took the first step without any fear of the unknown, and by being fearless, she was ready to take her next step with confidence followed with many more right steps that only produced success.

In 2011, Oprah was the best-paid female in the entertainment industry, according to Forbes Magazine, and remains the richest self- made woman.
After all, we should not let one loss define who we are when we can capitalize on our failure and push our powers and dreams forward.
Being late to work does not necessarily mean that you are a lazy employee, and being late at work does not mean that you are such a hard worker.
Your effort defines who you are: your work quality, how you handle problems and stressful situations, your reaction towards criticism, and your efficient commitment to your career life.
Even on your worse days, keep telling yourself: I am not going to sit back and watch my life dispersing while I can still do something about it and make a difference!
And In case of failure, get the advantage of that knockout and use it as motivation for your future self. This is where you succeed.
Seeking promotion or a bonus?
Work on your skills, double your efforts, burst the bubble, and let everyone see how serious you are regarding your career.
Sometimes you wish or even you pray, but things need your actions to happen as well!
You wish for happiness, for stability, for peace from one side, but you let everyone who hurt you welcomed in your life on the other side! Which is not healthy at all.
Act louder than your prayers.
Start with making your own space alive, schedule your own meditation time, and generate your own life tempo.
Practice yoga hit the gym, try that dance you said once it is impossible, and simply let your soul find its way to happiness.
If you find being alone brings you peace, then so be it; do whatever serves you.
Do not blame the past, the time has passed already.
Do not blame yourself for the mistakes you could not but fall into.
Do not blame yourself for the questions you could not find answers to.
Do not blame yourself for the problems you could not solve.
I believe that problems are nothing more than illusions. A problem is a complicated thought; and we keep repeating this phrase:
“Everything will be okay”
But how is that?
Once you manage to quite your mind, problems will vanish, and the nightmare you thought it will never end, it will. How you see things matter as well, your perspective for the situation can lead your mind either for frustration or for tranquility.
Allow the storms in your mind to pass, to change directions, to create a mess. There is nothing more beautiful than a mess created by your own thoughts calling your name.
So will you respond?
Start using your drama for your art
Waiting for a miracle to start your career?
Get advantage of your drama and start making a career out of it!
Take the initiative, and brighten up.
Paint that wall in the city, or rock an exhibition!
Burst your lines, your colors, and paint as if you will never be able to hold a brush again.
Let people sense what you have been through while looking at your masterpiece.
Dance!
While your mind and heart are experiencing troubleshoot in the system, your body is not.
It can highly express what your emotions cannot speak!
Remember that emptiness is just space, and to complete the gaps we have to learn how to fill it with what makes us feel better.
To some, it might be a cup of green tea or a morning coffee shot; a shopping day, weekend getaway; good music, a road trip; whatever the form is, relax and enjoy the moment without carrying the weight of your thoughts.
