As a kid, I was very intelligent. I succeeded at virtually everything; Academics, art, dancing, gymnastics, track and field, u name it!
Mathematics, quantitative reasoning, came easily.
But I never knew hw to deal with FAILURE. When I began experiencing it, it almost killed me.

When I started experiencing failure, It took a lot to overcome the psychological breakdown it came with.
It almost ruined me.
Back in University, when I got my first D in Mathematics, I lost it.
Later, I failed a course, I couldn& #39;t deal with it anymore.

I hated my course & stopped attending lectures.
At a point I dropped out, called my parents & told them I wasn& #39;t interested anymore.
That broke them!
After much convincing by my pastor, I decided to pick back up. Rewrote all my carry over courses and the least I scored was a B

That moment of restarting my mind taught me something about dealing with failure.
I& #39;m still not great at dealing with failure but I& #39;m waaaaaaay better.
Got out of school. Didn& #39;t even use my certificate anymore. I went online to study a new career path and that& #39;s what I do now.

I have excelled greatly at things. It always starts with a nervous or psychological breakdown but when I remember how I bounced back during my extra year at school, I get the courage to push harder!
I& #39;ve come up with business ideas that didn& #39;t work, I have almost lost a job...

I have experienced a bad relationship, I have been broke, I have done music and was very very good at it but I didn& #39;t blow, I have failed at several areas but I didn& #39;t remain there.
Don& #39;t beat yourself too hard for failing. Failing is normal. Just don& #39;t stay a failure.

This is a message to those who feel they are not great or good at anything anymore but most especially, me. I know I will fail at something again but I will bounce back better.
