I fall and I get up - LOH # 263 Contest (Eng/Spn)
(Edited)
ENGLISH
Greetings to all, in this beautiful Ladies of Hive Community. Heeding the call of this contest number 263, today I return to participate. Here I share this week's invitation. Thank you @trucklife-family for these great questions!
This time I will answer the second question of the contest: Do you consider failing to be less, equal, or more important than succeeding in life and why?
This is a profound question that leads us to reflect on the complex nature of life. As human beings, we love for everything to flow smoothly and for things to go well for us, for us to have success, well-being, and happiness, and that's not questionable; however, living on this planet implies that we are in a dual dynamic, where opposites are juxtaposed and shape reality. This isn't bad either; it's normal, and we can see this by observing natural cycles: the seasons, the life cycle of plants and animals, food chains, etc.; all of this shows us that there is variability, nothing is static, there is life and death, success and failure.
From my own personal experience, I believe that both success and failure are equally important. If we were to live in constant success, it could cause us to lose focus and objectivity. Likewise, living in perpetual defeat will inevitably break our bodies and spirits. It's not that I think it should be a 50/50 split—ideally, there should be more successes than failures—but I believe that failure should be seen as a learning opportunity that allows us to achieve greater success. The contrast between experiences, the comparison between an achievement, a victory, and a failure, a defeat, can generate significant learning, knowledge, and concepts, and facilitate our understanding of life's experiences. Of course, this is only true if we analyze and become aware of the causes or factors that led to that failure. Because if we simply ignore it, without pausing to consider why we failed, that experience will have no value, and we will most likely repeat the same situation, the same mistake.
It's not that I've always taken advantage of failures. When I was younger, I would make mistakes and keep making them without understanding why that pattern of errors kept repeating itself. Later, with maturity, I was able to stop and reflect and incorporate the positive aspects those failures offered into my life, thus avoiding repeating negative patterns. In this way, I was able to be a better daughter, a better mother, a better sister. I was also able to be more selective with my friends and partners. And I was also able to work for myself and do things I wanted to do. So over the years I learned that I fall and I get up, and of course, I also dust myself off.
I have a mantra, which I've mentioned before and which I include at the end of all my posts: EVERY DAY IS NOT THE SAME. And it's true, because there are days when we're doing great, when we're happy, when life smiles upon us; but there are others when the opposite is true. And it's from those gray or dark days that we must learn, and not let their energy overwhelm us and extinguish the inner light we all carry within. I'm not saying this is easy to do; often it isn't, because pain, anger, hatred, rage, helplessness, disappointment, and sadness can overwhelm us. But there is the certainty that everything will pass, and at that moment, we must look at negative situations objectively, taking advantage of the lesson that lies within each one.
In summary, success and failure are equally important, but we must strive to ensure that success outweighs failure, and also be aware that there are factors and circumstances that we cannot control, situations that are beyond our control and for which we have no responsibility.

Saludos a todos en esta hermosa Comunidad de Ladies of Hive. Atendiendo la convocatoria de este concurso número 263, hoy vuelvo a participar. Aquí les comparto la invitación de esta semana. Gracias @trucklife-family por estas estupendas preguntas!
Esta vez responderé a la segunda pregunta del concurso: ¿Consideras que fracasar es menos importante, igual de importante o más importante que triunfar en la vida y por qué?
Esta es una pregunta profunda, que nos lleva a reflexionar sobre la compleja naturaleza de la vida. Como seres humanos, nos encanta que todo fluya y nos vaya bien, que tengamos éxito, bienestar y felicidad, y no es cuestionable; sin embargo, el vivir en este planeta, implica que estemos en una dinámica dual, en donde los opuestos se yuxtaponen y dan forma a la realidad. Esto tampoco es malo, es algo normal, y esto lo podemos constatar el observar los ciclos naturales: Las estaciones del año, el ciclo vital de plantas y animales, las cadenas tróficas, etc.; todo nos demuestra que hay variabilidad, nada es estático, hay vida y muerte, éxito y derrota.
Desde el punto de vista de la experiencia humana que me ha tocado vivir, considero que tanto el éxito como el fracaso son igualmente importantes. En el supuesto de que podamos vivir en un constante éxito, esto nos puede hacer perder el foco y perder objetividad. Igualmente vivir en eterna derrota, inevitablemente quebrantará nuestro cuerpo y espíritu. No es que considere que deba ser un 50% 50%, lo ideal es que ocurran más éxitos que fracasos; pero creo que el fracaso debe ser considerado como una oportunidad de aprendizaje, que nos permitirá tener más éxito. Los contrastes de experiencias, la comparación entre un logro, una victoria y un fracaso, una derrota, pueden generar importantes aprendizajes, conocimientos, conceptos y nos facilita la comprensión de la experiencia vital; claro, siempre y cuando analicemos y concienticemos las causas o factores que generaron ese fracaso; porque si lo pasamos de largo, sin detenernos a pensar el por qué fracasamos, esa vivencia no tendrá valor alguno, y lo más probable es que repitamos la misma situación, el mismo error.
No es que siempre haya aprovechado las ventajas de los fracasos. De más joven, yo metía la pata y la seguía metiendo sin saber por qué se repetía ese patrón de equivocaciones. Luego, con la madurez, pude detenerme a pensar e incorporar lo positivo que esos fracasos brindaban a mi vida, para así evitar repetir patrones negativos. De este modo pude ser mejor hija, mejor madre, mejor hermana. También pude ser más selectiva con mis amigos y con mis parejas. Y también pude trabajar por mi cuenta, y hacer cosas que quería hacer. Así que con los años aprendí, que me caigo y me levanto, y claro, también me sacudo el polvo.
Yo tengo un mantra, del cual ya he hablado y que incluyo al final de todos mis posts: TODOS LOS DÍAS NO SON IGUALES, y es que es así, pues hay días en que estamos muy bien, en que somos felices, en que la vida sonríe; pero hay otros en ocurre todo lo contrario. Y es de esos días grises u obscuros que debemos aprender, y no dejar que su energía nos agobie y apague la luz interior que todos llevamos dentro. No digo que esto sea fácil de hacer, muchas veces no lo es, porque el dolor, la rabia, el odio, la ira, la impotencia, la decepción y la tristeza nos puede superar, pero hay la certeza de que todo pasará, y en ese momento hay mirar las situaciones negativas de modo objetivo, aprovechando la lección que subyace en cada una.
En resumen, el éxito y el fracaso son igualmente importantes, pero hay que esforzarnos en que el éxito supere al fracaso, y también estar conscientes que hay factores y circunstancias que no podemos controlar, hay situaciones que se escapan de nuestras manos y sobre las cuales no tenemos responsabilidad.

We're bound to fail at some point in life in things we do but having the strength to start all over again or not giving up while utilizing the experience or lessons learnt so far is really blessings in disguise.
You've hit the nail on the head, just as you say, failures can be blessings in disguise.

Yes, the biggest lesson, is picking oneself up when you fail and to keep going, to see a failure as an opportunity to learn, so that we can succeed. Thanks so much @sirenahippie for responding to this weeks question.
