How has a failure, or apparent failure, set you up for later success?

Hey…

I hope all of you are doing well…!

It’s a beautiful day today as I am out for my morning walk and it’s 7:44 am in the morning as I’m writing this…!

The weather is shifting from cool to a little bit of prickly heat as the sun rises Infront of me

have a look…!

Occasional breeze cuts through the heat as I walk on my terrace as per my usual routine…!

Let me be clear—

It’s not like I do any of this to gain any traction or satisfy myself with likes or clicks…!

But it’s more about keeping at it and honeing the already existing talent and system that I’ve built myself around;

An outcome of which can be something that I can use for my benefit later on in my life—

But,

For now it’s only keeping myself in the shadows and continue to work to better myself each day…!

Well I cannot say coming back to the prompt now as we have already backed into a territory that I failed at earlier…

(Khair…)

Repeated failures that set all of us for success…!

You must have heard that there is a stronger chance of succeeding once a person tries to better themselves each day…!

I can give you two answers how this has turned out to be true for me and how it has changed me as a person both from inside and outside too…!

First

If you haven’t been connected with me long enough it would be new for you but,

I came from a commerce background and I was pushed into an engineering field due to reasons that we shall discuss some other day—

In which I failed daily,

Because learning while working in that field was tiring,

The change in the environment, the loss that we had to take on parts and equipments—

Let’s now walk into the fact how many injuries were there—

Often I fought with myself to call it quits but I didn’t loose hope and trusted the process more than myself and now things happen automatically;

Like my mind on its own dwells into any problem that is thrown my way and starts to look for solutions each time a problem arrives at my workplace…!

Something that was a dream that I had,

first few months into this job;

Well I wouldn’t call it a job because it’s our family business…!

Second

All of this writing,

It didn’t happen just because I had a knack for it,

Well something changed within the last few years of my high school and I decided on my own that I will write and initially there were a lot of problems,

A lot of things came at me at a single time and with the fact that my dream was taken from me I had a lot of things on my mind to a point that I thought about ending it all…!

Funny times now that I look back at them…!

But,

Amongst all of this I found comfort within these words as they were with me when I was all alone and had no one to talk to…!

And these words were the only thing that pulled me out of my misery and if it weren’t for them—

You,

This whole world wouldn’t have Waakiye writing daily for you all;

My dear readers…!

So,

Anyone and everyone that likes to read what I write,

Even those who scan past it;

You have become a part of my success story and you will remain within my books as long as I live and breathe on this G0d’s green earth…!

---

And even last night,

when the world felt heavy,

I found myself writing again.

Questioning. Wrestling. Trying to understand what cannot be explained.

And this was the outcome of it…

To a G0d who cannot save their wards…!

Cheers 🥂

Love Waakiye 🤍
