Last semester, I failed to achieve my goal of gaining 15 pounds of muscle. I would try to attend the on-campus gym on a daily basis and eat plenty of protein-based meals and shakes. However, I would only gain roughly 9-10 pounds of muscle as opposed to my ultimate goal of anywhere between 15-20. I would take supplements and train as hard as I possibly could to no avail. From my failure last semester, I learned that I must remain positive and determined in order to achieve my ultimate goal. If I can successfully maintain a tenacious mentality, then I know that I can accomplish anything I set my mind to in life. Personally, I believe that failure helps us become more strong-minded individuals. Moreover, we must learn from our past failures and mistakes in order to improve ourselves and accomplish all of our goals in life, as well. Failure is certainly tough to cope with, and can certainly be embarrassing and depressing at first, but we should not allow our failures to define us. We must learn to overcome these trials and tribulations in order to become successful. I was depressed at first from an emotional standpoint, but eventually overcame my temporary depression to work even harder at the gym and with my diet, too. Ultimately, this class has certainly changed my perspective on failure. I certainly do believe that I am more likely to take a risk now than I were just a few months ago because risks are necessary to reach our primary goals.
