Knock down your failures

"Success is not final, failure is not fatal: it is the courage to continue that counts"
- Winston Churchill

You’re working tremendously hard to achieve that one dream of your life. You’re pushing yourself through the obstacles that are preventing you from sparkling. You know that this one-last step will get you up to the place where you always wished to reach. And BOOOOM. You fall to the ground, marking yet another failure of your life. This disillusion thing that you call life is all about letdowns; you think to yourself.

But does that mean you give up on your dreams?

Absolutely not. Failures are part of life, so are successes. Nobody on earth like failures neither do I. But you know what? Possibly, the only nice thing about failures is that they motivate you to stand up again and kick through those loses. Not just learn how/why you’ve lost but to push them away from you and get back on track.

Don’t make your failures become an obstacle between you and your future. Never let your loses takeover your hidden strengths. Rather consider them as your strengths and motivational factors to stand up again after each fall. If not today, someday you will reach that stage of your life where you always wished to be. So each hurdle you knock down, the closer you get to your desired destination. Achieve your dreams and never give up no matter how forcefully you are been constricted.   

"She was unstoppable, not because she did not have failures or doubts but because she continued on despite them" - Beau Taplin

You've gotta take that single step

"The journey of a thousand miles begins with one step" - Lao Tzu

When walking to work each morning, I come across these beautifully inspiring words. They leave me battling with my strengths and weaknesses at the same time. They leave me with the determination of keep moving forth without having to pause even for a single second. But deep down in me, my standard human nature feeds me with the negative consequences of each step I take. After skimming through these words, one side of my brain is fearless of brightening my dreams but the other half is pulling me backwards to stop succeeding. Don't we all have those 'urmmmmm' moments?

Hopelessness and despair at times become our companions but only for a limited time. With each step, we seem to get pulled back by some sort of gravitational force leaving us with anguish. But this is where the real challenge begins. It's the demon that's making you back off, constraining you from succeeding and shining like a star. Don't feel shattered because it's really not worth it. You've gotta stand and keep yourself steady. In order to cover that thousand miles journey you've gotta take that single step. It definitely wouldn't be an easy move but in order to achieve something you've gotta keep moving.

We dream of success, health, wealth and a lot more. These are the things that we don't get overnight; it requires immense amount of effort, strength and hard work. It's more like a ladder that you keep climbing and as you are rising higher, there are likely to be more chances of falling back due to the fear of height. So with each step you take, you're surrounded with fears, risks and challenges. But remember, you've gotta keep moving.
