Failure simply means the lack of success and I have shared in this article five steps you need to bounce back after each failure. Failure is part of success and it is important to bounce back after each failure. Every meaningful success must at one point in time have a brush with failure. Thomas Alva Edison, the inventor of the light bulb failed 1,000 times before he got the right filament for the light bulb.It is alright to feel bad after failing but it is bad to remain a failure. The difference between a successful man and a failure is that while the successful man keeps trying until success is achieved, the failure stops trying. So, what do you do after you fail in your efforts to achieve success? Let me share my five success secrets with you.1. Never Lose Focus When You Fail. It is quite easy for one to lose focus after one or more repeated failures. If all the people who became successful in the annals of history gave up after one or two failures, we wouldn’t have read of their exploits and their beautiful inventions and discoveries would have remained in limbo.2. Don’t Give In To Discouragement. More often than not, discouragement would want to set in after a failure. But only the dogged and determined will not permit it to settle. So, don’t give discouragement a foot hold. Otherwise it will shift you from your goal.

3. Reassess The Situation When Thomas Alva Edison finally invented the light bulb, he was asked how it felt to fail 1,000 times, he said

I didn’t fail 1,000 times. The light bulb was an invention with 1,000 steps. See every failure as a means to get it right. Find out what led to your failure and make amends.

4. Re-orientate Your Mind Failure has a way of etching itself in the mind of a man. Don’t allow your mind to reconfigure you as a perpetual failure; one that will never taste, see or experience success. Tell your mind, it is either it embraces success or nothing.5. Try Again and Again Paulo Coelho has this to say about failure: The secret of life is to fall seven times and to get up eight times.

In other words, when you fail, don’t sit on your failure, rise again. When you do this, you will succeed. You must keep trying. Remember, no one celebrates failure but everyone celebrates success. When you fail to try, you are only trying to fail.
