We need to accept personal failures so that we can achieve personal success.
Hello Readers. The above line is not just a cliche but rather a true story of my life. Over the last year or more there have been instances where I have broken records of setting new failures in life. Each time I tried to learn something or tried to inculcate a new trait, I was so bad at it that I have not seen a series of such failures back to back happening with me ever before. And all I can say is that it’s not the best feeling in the world.
The more I look around myself I find many people who do not have the strength to stand for the things they should. I watch them broken and fallen apart in pieces just because they have made some choices in their lives that didn’t exactly went in their favour. This is where I decided to never become like one of them no matter where life throws me. The more I do not get what I try for, the more responsible I am becoming and day by day the space for recklessness in life is decreasing simultaneously.
I won’t preach about how we all should just close all doors and sit down to meditate forever because that will drive us to a more maddening road. Instead I can speak from my own experience that when you decide to take control of your life even when things are falling apart or when you are hurting inside, that’s when you will truly grow up as a mature adult. Why are the adults around me falling apart or having mid life crisis in their early twenties? We get it that you didn’t get something you desired but aren’t we all going through the same shit every single day? Taking the time to cry your heart out is good. That means your perspectives in life are clear and more over that shows you are not a rock! But dwelling on the same misery day in and day out and letting that affect your life in a negative way where you no longer are in control of your actions and just throwing yourself away is like the dumbest decision you can ever take! People who expect that situations will change even when they don’t are the stupidest and the most delusional kind!
If you look around yourself you will find that bad things happen to all of us. In fact worse things happen that some of us are privileged and fortunate to never have to go through such tough situations. But the ones that try every single day to look for something positive and be grateful for the efforts they are still capable of putting because of the abilities they have got, they are the ones who will finally come out much stronger and much saner than before. And isn’t that what life is all about? To overcome our shortcomings in such a way that even our failures teach us how to deal with ourselves when we are at our lowest and overcome it in such a way that not only we become better versions of ourselves but also take those lessons and make something bigger out of it. I hope you have the courage to stand up for the things that do not help you grow and may you have the strength to shut up your own mind when it goes against you.
Until next time, Readers <3
