Everyone faces failure in life. However, on failing, some people become shattered and give up. Others bounce back and rise. What differentiates them? It’s primarily their conception of failure.

The Bhagavad-gita (18.35) warns against self-defeating thought patterns that arise in ignorance and reinforce ignorance. One such thought pattern is seeing failure as final. Then all effort seems futile and the damage to our self-worth feels fatal. Failure no longer remains an event in our life—failure becomes our self-definition: I am a failure.

But failure is never final. It is feedback. Not that nothing will ever work, but that this particular way didn’t work.

Failure is not futile. It is fertile, rich with lessons about ourselves, our situation, our strategy.

Failure is not fatal. It is foundational. Just as every child falls before walking, so too, from failure’s foundation, we rise toward greater growth.
