Think !!! Failing Can Be your opportunity!!! Someone asked me, I fear that I may fail in my exam and I will have to repeat it again. How do I overcome my failure? If you have a similar thing going on in your mind, READ ON!! I think this should help: Exams are scary, mostly because we don't know the result. Your fear is quite natural. Most students do not acknowledge their fears, but here is some good news for you: 1) You know you are scared, that's acknowledgement. 2) You know what you will do: if you pass, you are going to be happy and if not then you will have to repeat. Here is my suggestion: 1. write down what you are thinking about failure. eg. I feel I am going to fail in …( subject you think you will fail) 2. Write down what thoughts are running in your mind when you think about failing. 3. Now, try telling yourself that the result is not in your control, however it can be an opportunity for you to learn from your failure. 4. Prepare a plan A ( if you pass then what will be your next step) and plan B ( if you fail then what will be your next step) 5. Always expect a positive outcome, also talk to someone who listens to you without any judgement like a family member, friend, professor, guide, mentor. 6. You should remember just like passing failing is also a process. As passing is a process, failing is also a process which brings in a lot of experience. 7. Write positive statements about any failed thoughts that come to your mind. I hope this helps. stay blessed and remember every failure is an opportunity to become a better version of yourself. #opportunity #failure #lessonslearned #success #believeyoucan #lifelonglearner #successandfailure #lifelessons

17th May 2023, a day that will forever be etched in my memory. It was the day of my first A Level exam, and I was a bundle of nerves. Despite all the preparation and hard work, doubt started to creep in. Was I ready for this? Had I done enough? The negative thoughts were overwhelming, and they affected my concentration during the exam. Unfortunately, my fears were confirmed when the results came out. I didn't perform as well as I knew I could have. The disappointment was crushing, and it set me up for a series of underwhelming performances in subsequent exams. Looking back, I realize that my negative mindset was my biggest obstacle. One negative thought had the power to derail all my hard work and planning. It's a valuable lesson that I've carried with me since then. So, to all the students out there, I want to share this message: ALWAYS BE POSITIVE. Believe in yourself, focus on your goals, and don't let negativity hold you back. With the right mindset, you can achieve anything you set your mind to. 💕✅ #Positivity #BelieveInYourself #Mindset #Success

I am not as smart as I think I am… Or so I thought. If there’s ever been a time I've doubted my intelligence, it’s been these past few months. For the past five to six months, I've been preparing for a very important exam. This preparation has challenged me so much that I've often felt like I’m just not smart enough and have considered giving up many times.(of course I didn’t,we don’t do that over here😌🤭 ) But continuing my studies has taught me some important lessons. Sometimes, we judge ourselves too soon. We expect to be good at something right away, and when we don't meet our goals after a few tries, we start to beat ourselves up. The funny thing is, these are often things we’ve never done before. We often think we are superhumans! 😂🤭No, we are not. Yes, some things come easily to us sometimes, but most things take constant practice and hard work to perfect. They take more trials and more failures. More effort. Only then can we truly judge whether we are good or not. So, I want to use this chance to apologize to myself. I judged myself too early. Even though I haven't achieved my goal yet, I know that with constant effort, I will get there. WAIT FOR MY SUCCESS STORY 🤭 So here is my little advice today: Don’t be too hard on yourself if you don’t succeed right away. Give yourself the time to learn and grow. Keep pushing forward, and remember that persistence and hard work are key to achieving your goals. #ExamPrep #GrowthMindset #Perseverance #Adaptability #SupportSystem

My time was up. The exams were over. I was relieved. But then, I had a realization. All those hours of studying, the stress, the pressure—it was intense. Yet, I found myself asking, "Does it really matter?" I started to see the bigger picture. The grades, the exams—they were just a small part of my journey. I realized they didn’t define my true path. They weren’t the route to a life of purpose and fulfillment. Or the pursuit of truth. You might be feeling the same way. Caught up in the pursuit of goals that don’t resonate with your deeper sense of purpose. Sometimes, the pressure of the moment makes us lose sight of what truly matters. It’s important to step back and reflect. Ask yourself: Are you chasing what truly aligns with your sense of purpose and pursuit of truth? Or are you following a path that doesn’t lead to genuine fulfillment? Your journey is more than just the immediate challenges and expectations. It’s about finding and pursuing what genuinely aligns with your core values and sense of truth. So, take a moment to realign. Focus on the pursuit of what truly matters to you. Because, in the end, it’s your sense of purpose, fulfillment, and pursuit of truth that define your path. 💡 Like this post? Follow me on my journey to help you with self-development.

Fuelling Motivation and Achieving Success: Navigating Setbacks Determined to focus on my goal, I finally decided to work...then, boom, I opened an email from the uni skills department about a Three Minute Thesis (3MT) presentation scheduled for June 11, 2024 at 10:40AM. This news put me off because... Continue reading: https://lnkd.in/eAtjWnDs #MotivationAndSuccess #NavigatingSetbacks #UnexpectedOpportunities

Have you ever rewarded yourself for failing? Sounds ridiculous, right? But yes, that's exactly what I mean. Do something, and when it doesn't go your way as planned, you reward yourself, anyway. I learnt this many years back when I was still in high school. I learned it from a friend, an alumnus who had been invited back to admonish the team I was currently leading. At first it sounded so strange to me too when he shared the concept, but soon I had an opportunity to practice it and then I fully understood it. Here's how I did it... I sat for a Maths paper and by the end of that examination time, I could predict the results and in summary nothing looked good enough. I knew that when the results return I'd have a C- at best. I felt bad. All the sleepless nights and discussions didn't seem to have paid off. Remembering this concept, I decided I should give myself a treat. I headed to the canteen and bought myself some better food and drinks and intentionally skipped the school food. Well school food is usually far from anyone's favorite (If you've been there you can attest). Small gesture but meant something big behind by pattern. This is the principle I was trying to establish: Regardless of the results, I am proud of myself. I celebrate the dedication, commitment and all the efforts I put in to prepare for the opportunity. The marks (results) didn't define me to make me less of my true self. I was still smart, wise, intelligent and bright regardless of the mathematical problems I couldn't solve at that moment. This is the same approach to life. Regardless of whatever setbacks you've suffered before, celebrate the silver lining in the story. Applaud yourself for the intention, the effort and hard work you've putting in. You're much more than that negative result. When you learn to do this, you will easily get over the setbacks and rather use them as stepping stones to aim higher and keep striving for better. Today I don't remember those mathematical problems, but I recall the attitude that the experience sowed in me. It taught me to appreciate myself regardless.... This is called self love! Have you ever rewarded yourself for failing? #SelfLove #DealingWithFailure #PatrickMugera #CertifiedPurposeCoach

📚 Exam Results: The Emotional Rollercoaster 🎢 ❌️ Exam result = tension ✅️ ❌️ Pass = happiness ✅️ ❌️Fail = overthinking, stress ✅️ Exam results can often feel like a tension-filled package deal—where "pass" brings happiness, and "fail" brings a bundle of overthinking and stress. With numerous entrance exam results being announced, many students have experienced this emotional whirlwind. Some of my friends celebrated their successes, while others are grappling with the sting of not achieving their desired outcome. It's natural to start planning and dreaming about the future when we pass, but why do we tend to look back and dwell on our perceived failures when things don't go as planned? The reality is that each result, whether good or bad, is a part of our journey. Instead of focusing solely on the setbacks, let's use these moments as opportunities to learn, adapt, and move forward with renewed determination. Remember, every challenge is a stepping stone towards growth. Here's to embracing both the highs and lows and finding strength in our experiences. 💪🌟 #ExamResult #AcademicJourney #EmotionalIntelligence #SuccessMindset #PersonalGrowth #OvercomingChallenges #FuturePlanning #Exam stress management

Reality is far different from our imaginations!🎯 ➡️Always our sub conscious mind tries to just imagine things before they happen. This is a human tendency but we should try to avoid it. ✨️Manifesting something good to yourself and for others is great. If you have thoughts like, " Am I gonna clear"? "What if I fail"? "What if not CA"? I have often seen my friends always having a Plan B❎️ But I never had a Plan B. Though I was also annoyed by sacrificing because who doesn't loves to travel and meet friends but left with attending hours of coaching.🔴 I was dedicated that I chose this now let's do it even whatever it takes🪄 ‼️Just before the results are out or even if 1 exam goes wrong we start building up these imaginary thoughts. Like I would do this If I won't clear... Rather than having negative thoughts why we dont focus on good things. What if I "PASS"?✅️ So, now let's imagine negative thoughts less and focus on better reality!✨️ #motivation #caintermediate #caaspirants

🌟 Finding Motivation: A Simple Strategy 🌟 Ever feel overwhelmed while preparing for a competitive exam? Here's a tip that always works wonders for me: whenever doubt creeps in, take a pause. Take just 5 minutes to close your eyes and visualize that moment when the results come in. Picture the joy on your parents' faces, the pride in your own heart when you see those words: "You Passed!" Trust me, there's no better feeling than that. It's the culmination of hard work, dedication, and perseverance. So, whenever the going gets tough, remember this: the payoff is worth every moment of struggle. Keep pushing forward. Your success story is waiting to be written. 💪 #Motivation #Success #Perseverance
