Failure

Got rejected? Snub? Or maybe you quit? Or did you fail an exam? A course? How about yourself? Didn’t reach that dream GPA? Or maybe GREATWKS was just as a big piss-off for you as it was for me? Hahaha.

There are many other forms of failure, whether you were rejected, or you were the one who rejected something or someone—all forms of failure are heavy in the heart and burdensome to the mind.

I would be a hypocrite to say that failure, in any form, does not hurt--- because it does. To some point, it gives us a heavy feeling— “why was I not good enough?”

But then I think, to take a step from myself and my world to reevaluate the situation I am in. Experience has shown me that certain situations in life should not drown me or overcome my better person.

Failure is just a harsh form of opportunity used to humble people and challenge us to the best of our abilities. It’s that thing in life that bumps us in the head to tell us—“ just look a bit closer to see the beauty of this situation.” And then I think that, it would be in our good thinking to look at failure as a forceful form of a challenge— or even more like a bedeviled opportunity. After all, what is life but our journey to better ourselves?

In the light of this, it brings me to one of my favorite quotes: “it is in their lowest points, that great men do great things.” Success has always been weighted based on how we stand from falling; from how we learn to walk from crawling-- dynasties, empires, civilizations, even down to that one person—has always relied on the people’s ability to learn and improve. Anyways, I couldn’t imagine success existing in a life of nothing but prosperity…

Hmm.

I don’t think anything I said above solves my problem right now. And I do admit that nothing I ever write will, this is a mere theory—I have to remember that the harder part is to live it in application and not let my better knowledge interfere with my ability to live in reality. Nothing is as good in theory as it is in application. Words can never express things we actually prove to ourselves and to others.
