FAILURE IS NEVER THE END

avatar

Today has been one of those days when I don't really feel myself, I have been doing a lot I'd say but then I just don't feel me at all. I have promised myself to always make my write up early but today was not just that day for me. Well, it didn't just happened that way, I've been expecting my admission for sometime now and yesterday the person giving me information about things asked me to come to the school to do some things which he saw were lacking.

This is my fourth year at home after I wrote my first west Africa examination and failed, I had to write it again two years ago and I barely made it, that's not enough I also wrote Jamb twice and surprisingly I got the same score for the two and I also wrote my post UTME in my preferred school of choice and I also barely made it, in fact, I failed! And now I'm giving people hard time trying to help me out because of my laziness to study as I should.

And that's the reason why I was asked to come to the school and I had to travel down today but somehow I think I have failed again, no I have failed again. I feel really so ashamed of myself and I sometimes wonder when I will ever get it right once and for all, I hate it that I'm bothering people so much but I don't think I'm really sorry because if I am I should have passed the last exam I wrote but no, I didn't.

I don't know if writing about what a failure I am will help anything but this is what I feel like talking about it and maybe it will make me serious with studying. I've wasted my dad's hard earned money again but I'm promising myself that this will be the last time that will ever happen, all I need to do is study and have the right information at the right time and I know God is always going to be with me as long as I'm with him. I thought I did my best but seeing that I keep on failing, it is obvious that I didn't.

People say I'm smart, but that doesn't make me brilliant, I'm an average student, I always barely passed my exams and I think that is my problem, since I at least passed my exam during secondary school, I never really cared to do better. Although I did read but not as I should and that has gotten me to where I am now. I'm barely good at anything related to studying and I think it's because of my mindset towards studying, I have to change it, I will change it so I can get a different result.
20220723_162034_0000.png
I'm really hurt that it took me four years to realize that I should be better, but then, I'm also happy I have realized it after all and it's time to take action and change things for the better. I'm not going to think myself as an average person anymore, I'm more than that, I have a God who is always there for me, he has given me a brain and I'm going to use it so well, I'm never going to see myself as not worth it because I'm worth it all.
20220723_162034_0000.png
As long as I have life I know that I have the time to set things in order and that is what I'm going to do. I'm no longer going to wait around for opportunities to find me, I'm going in search of opportunities and leave my comfort zone, I've been there for too long. I'm no longer going to settle for less, I'm not born to be less, I'm born to be the best of me and that I will be!
20220723_162034_0000.png
I know I can do all of these and I will! Until next time, stay AWESOME!!! (I will too, hehe).

You are smart, it's just that, you have to get rid of that laziness because that's the main reason that hinders you to pass... I'm just an average student back then.. But I never failed any examination. Do you know why? I study ahead of time because I don't like going to a war without enough bullets in my pockets. That's what made me pass all examinations back then. In fact, I'm topping most of the time.

No one could help you but only yourself. It's not too late yet anyway. You can still make it if only you would want to.

Trust yourself !LADY
Sending hugs and !LUV from here. Don't give up 😊

You are absolutely right, my laziness and lack of zeal is the reason why I'm still where I am. I'm topping my game and I'm going to do better than before, no more messing around, yeah.

Thank you for your kind words and encouragement Jane, I'm truly grateful, today is another wonderful day to set things right and I pray God helps me.

Sending you much !LUV !LADY 😘

What do you mean, you're not smart? Oh, of course you are! There are multiple intelligences and not all of them are measured by studies.

I don't have enough data to know what could be the causes of what is happening to you. The main thing is: are you the one who wants to study for those exams? Because if you are trying to fulfil other people's wishes, there you go.

Follow what you really want to do and the effort will be much more bearable.

Hugs. 🤗

I always love seeing Failure as actually the end but then the end of a better/ New Beginning.

I'm really hurt that it took me four years to realize that I should be better

It's still wonderful you discovered too and believe me, you still did that early.

I wish you nothing less than the best this year dear

It's well ... It shall be well
This too shall pass 👍

I was unpleasantly surprised as I went through this article. I secretly wished that it was some kind of joke or contest prompt you were participating in. Because I thought you and @merit.ahama were classmates in the same school.

It's really sad that you've had to go through this. When we consistently fail, it gives us the image that we are nothing but failures and can never amount to anything. And therefore we slowly but gradually lose our drive. It takes only the will of God to pull us out if we eventually reach rock bottom.

But in fact, something I'd love for you to know is that failure is inevitable in every circumstance. As a matter of fact, the only way we succeed is to fail and fail forward. With every attempt at something new, we are bound miss a few steps or do something wrongly. Then we learn from our mistakes and try to do things differently.

I don't know the whole context of your situation so I can't properly advise you but, I want you to know that NOBODY is a lost cause. You just need to make a couple of good habits that will help you in your journey through life. I would love to recommend the book "Atomic Habits" by James Clear. Just read it.

I wish you the best.

This is insightful, thanks so much dear.

I want to ask, is that book found in just any bookshops or it can only be bought online? I checked it out on Google, jumia has it!

Thanks
You should be able to get it from bookstores around. Ask the booksellers, they should guide you on how to get the hardcopy. I use the audiobook version, on spotify.

Thank you so much for your beautiful contribution dear, indeed failure is necessary for success, the fact that I've failed quite a couple of times has given me the courage to want to succeed and I'm ready to put in the work as well.

Thank you so much for the book recommendation, I'm not sure if I will be reading it though because I'm not really used to reading books, I just prefer listening to people, lolz and now is not a time for me to get busy with reading books but I will keep this one in mind in case I come across it.

It has been a great pleasure having you around for the past days, thank you for your kind contribution ❤️

I feel you, dear! Although I am a teacher, I believe that exams are not always the true test of knowledge. I have never met you in real life, but I perceive you are a smart young lady. Please, don't be too hard on yourself, okay? This too shall pass. Sending love. #dreemport

Thank you so much for your beautiful words of encouragement, I'm truly encouraged and motivated by your words. It's really not easy when one feels like a failure even when they might not be in all aspects of their lives. Indeed this is a stage and it will surely pass, I just need to learn the lesson that it's trying to teach me.

My dear, can I share something with you? In my younger years, I was always taking the first position. I gained admission before many of my classmates. But then many things started happening. ASUU strike, Religious riots in my school then (ABU, Zaria). ASUU strike affected all universities, Religious riot affected only my school. Those 2 already caused me 2years setback. To worsen matters, I had extra year because of missing results. A 4-year course that started 1993 ended in 2000. I went for NYSC in 2001, finished in 2002. I felt the pain. I felt the shame. It took some time, but I got over it. Today, I have my own school, I have a catering business, I am also into coaching.
Please, don't ever call yourself a failure ever again. Like I said, you are smart and full of gifts. Don't look down on yourself. Okay?

Wow, your story is a really great motivation for me and anyone that reads it. I will keep this in mind and I promise to never call myself a failure but see any failure as a stepping stone to my success.

It's not going to be easy but I believe with God and all you amazing people by side, I believe it would become easy even when it's actually hard.

God bless you ma'am and I wish you a beautiful weekend 🤗❤️
