Once a man gives up on a pursuit without succeeding in it yet, it means he has given in to failure. As long as you continue to find a way out, you have not failed, you only fail when you give up on your pursuit of success.

So it is up to the individual not to give up the fight on any issue at all until light turns up on it. A glimpse of light is all we need to get better. As the saying goes, there is light at the end of the tunnel, so you keep on keeping on until you see the light.

9 Reasons Why People Fail In Life

1. Ignorance

Life does not give equal opportunity to everyone but each of us can create our opportunities. A lot of people complain when they can discover how to make life work for them through honorable means.

To be ignorant is not the absence of knowledge, it is the absence of wisdom- knowing what to do with the knowledge acquired.

There are a lot of knowledgeable people around. They only know about things but cannot take control of the same things.
So, if you must not fail in life, seek wisdom on what should do, and stay there until you become it.

2. Indecision

Some people, why they will fail in life is a lack of conviction to do what should be done at the time it was meant to be. It will be difficult to fail in life when you have strong convictions in the things you do to achieve what you want in life.

A man who is convinced about selling pure water and is doing it diligently, cannot fail. In a space of time, he will be employing others to sell his pure water. What this means is that you need strong convictions to make good decisions if you must not fail in life.

3. Failure to Try

Ever heard of this line, ‘To succeed at something, you need to increase your chances to fail’? Failure is success turned inside out.

The more you fail at a thing, the easier it gets to succeed at it. Only pay attention to the lessons each time you fail. You are not a failure for failure is an event, not a person.

However, you can end up a failure if you fail to try. There are a lot of ways to achieve anything in any given area if you will try to learn and not give up even when the process seems difficult.

Ask people like J.K Rowling, Henry Ford, and Thomas Edison, these are names you must have read their stories.

What about the people around you, the ones you know personally? How did they work past failure to success? You also, shouldn’t fail in life, start doing now instead of complaining and giving excuses for not trying.

4. Copycats and Wannabees

Some people are completely ignorant of what they should do with their lives. These set of people don’t know they are ignorant of the opportunities that lie within their reach.

They live the lives of other people, trying to be and do like X, Y, Z. They pay attention to what is happening around them, and know the best personalities in different fields, yet lack the knowledge to do what they were meant to do with life.

Even when they become aware, the fear of what people will say will deny them the privilege to succeed but to fail in life.

5. Procrastination

Procrastination is a thief of time. It can make a man fail in life when he’s become too comfortable living a procrastinated life.

The twin brother of procrastination is ‘Had I know’. It brings the past into the present and the future, thereby, affecting the present to become another repeated moment and the future with shadows of the past.

6. Indiscipline

You will go through pains to be disciplined but it is not like the pains you go through for being indisciplined.

The way to success can be full of roadblocks like uncertainty, hunger, difficulties, insults, loss, and the like but if you can be disciplined to hold on until success, you cannot fail in life.

Life indeed is pleasurable but without discipline, life can be wasted. Indiscipline is one major reason people fail in life. They didn’t let go of excesses that can hinder their life’s journey to a successful arrival.

7. Laziness

Resting before getting tired bests describes laziness.

Although laziness is contextual. Someone can be lazy at playing football but he can never get tired of solving arithmetic. This fellow is not lazy, he is not passionate about football, and he has his interest.

The type of laziness that tends to make people fail in life is when they ignore work that will bring them success in life.

8. Mismanagement

Inappropriate distribution of available resources can make one fail in life. Take, for instance, a family who earns $30,000 monthly, yet lives on a monthly bill of $100,000 for groceries will be ruined if nothing is done.

Other values aside money can be mismanaged, examples are talents, skills, businesses, opportunities, investments, and many others.

9. Inconsistency

When all is done that was meant to be, yet lack of consistency can abort success in a given area.

Consistency is what brings the results. It what’s makes for the smooth running of a process or product. Nothing can be exchanged for consistency. It must be included in the hacks for you not to fail in life.
