Same Problems, Different Perspective




They say, failure makes us stronger…

Or maybe it makes us weaker,

Maybe it just breaks us into pieces of hopelessness.

The books we read, the interviews we watch, and the success stories we hear always suggest that failure is the passport to success. But, often unheard of, there are tonnes of cases in which dreams remain unfulfilled when a series of bad performances make people lose their love for what they were working on and were very passionate about since forever.

Instead of forcing ourselves into the “Never Stop” arena, maybe we could sometimes just take a step back, recharge ourselves, think differently, see how we’ve evolved in our journey and then plan how we really want to work on that wall we could not break earlier.

It is important to not lose sight of the reason that made us work so hard in the first place. If that reason still has power to keep the fire inside us alive, effort will flow effortlessly. If our “Why” doesn’t hold true anymore or if it’s changed to something which doesn’t satisfy us, there is no harm in exploring other areas in life and getting back to work when one truly feels up to it!
