Live every day as a winner. You’ll most certainly be right someday.
It is no news that almost everyone has this great new idea, promising to advance us significantly toward our life’s purpose as well as helping humanity. However, we fear starting this idea because we feel our fantastic idea may be impossible to achieve. We feel the painful emotion of broken promises to friends and families or ourselves beforehand, so we start every great step with a passion that competes with fear and anxiety.
While we try to be extremely motivated in the beginning, we have no idea how not having enough resources or knowing the right network of people can frustrate the journey. So, staying motivated through the difficult times requires more effort than we could have anticipated, and we are quick to remind ourselves of the constant fear we begin with. That, maybe achieving the goal is impossible. I felt the same way when I began my undergraduate degree. First-class looks unrealistic to achieve, and random B’s in my result tell me how I am not good enough, but in the end, it was a joyful cap and gown celebration.
Here is the gist. It is almost impossible to connect the dots looking forward. You can only connect them looking backward, so you have to trust that the dots will somehow connect in the near future. All you have to do is trust in something, your gut, destiny, karma in times of challenges. Have the courage to follow your heart and intuition against all odds. They somehow already know what you truly want to become.
I know it is awful tasting medicines, but the patient needed it. Everyone eats the same pie of struggles in different ways before living their dream. That’s why many great leaders always give this same advice of never giving up couched in many different ways. So if you have that great goal, stand up for it, don’t relent, and never live your life as if you will fail one day. If you constantly think of failing, you’ll most certainly be right someday.
