Think Big Dream High,E24- Failure and disappointment is temporary



Failure and Disappointment

1.The fact remains and always be that  our existence in this world is to succeed. We are not  born a failure or in a state of disappointment. Allah SWT created us to be a Caliph. A Caliph cannot fail and be in a state of disappointment.

2. Even though failure and disappointment exist, it will only be temporary. Failure and disappointment is part of the process to achieve success. Success will be sustainable if it has gone through the success and failure phase. Those who have not gone through the failure and disappointment phase will not appreciate and felt fully the beauty of success.

3. This does not mean that we look forward to disappointment  and failure first before succeeding. All of us do not want failure and disappointment in our living vocabulary.  We only want success in our life.


Reality in life 

1.Every one of us have had the opportunity to experience failure and disappointment throughout our lives. Many of us are of the impression that once a failure, he remains a failure forever with no opportunity to get back on his feet again. No more chance to recover.

2. Disappointment and failure crippled all aspects of his life and destroy all forms of ambitions and dreams. For the students and teenagers, disappointment and failure is as a result of  sociable activities, being in love and  poor studies. For the adults, it is as a result of career, business, way of life and marriage. For the elderly, it is as a result of health, religion, wealth and family relationships.

3. The consequences are that we believe  the series of  disappointment and failure from one form to another form of disappointment and failure are continuous and cannot be avoided. For example disappointment in love followed by  failure in studies, failure in career spreads to family and marriage breakup and from marriage breakup it affects the health and so on and so forth. It is even affecting our  religion and way of life. It may even led to death which is not wanted and warranted.

4.In the non Muslim countries like Japan, China, Taiwan and Korea, the number of people committing suicide as a result of failure and disappointment is at an increasing trend from year to year for all age groups.   Praise be to Allah SWT, that this plague is not serious in our communities but the symptoms are already there.


Tips

1. Migrating from a disappointment and failure situation is not something simple. A lot of traps exists for the victims. Disappointment and failure is related to emotions, spiritual and is closely related to psychology.

2. The ability to control is dependant on a person’s energy and strengths. We need adequate oxygen to have energy. We need certain discipline and practices to have strengths. Emotional strength, spiritual strength, mental strength and physical strength plays a big role in influencing the level of coping and sustaining of a person’s failure and disappointment.

3.These strengths will enable a person to cope and sustain the bad effects from failure and disappointment. The stronger the ability to cope and sustain from these bad effects, the better chances will be for all hidden traps  to be slowly eliminated. All we need is to start  building up the energy and the strengths.

4.We need to start eating a proper and balanced diet. We need to start  practicing simple exercise like jogging, cycling, push up and squatting. We need to start  attending religious classes. We need to  start  reading articles, magazines or books. We need to start memorizing Al Quran, reciting doa and zikir. All these practices will increase the oxygen content in our body and build our overall strengths  to overcome our disappointment and failure.

5.From now on we can distanced ourselves from the black spots. We start to see the light at the end of the tunnel. To ensure we can achieve all these we need to think big dream high and at all times must have a strong heart.
