Today I realized that no matter how prepared or ready you think you are to learn about something, when it's there, you still won't be able to handle it as well as you thought you would.. Or could..
I've come across a few meaningful failures in my life.. Some I didn't think I deserved, some I didn't see coming and some I knew was bound to happen.. Many times, I failed to understand, at first of course, why of all people, these had to happen to me.. I was sometimes convinced that though I will never be perfect, I wasn't a failure either.. I guess that's life's for us.. It breaks us and re breaks us until we have been perfected from all the imperfections..
Today, another failure has unraveled before my eyes. Though I was hoping otherwise, when I did see it, I still felt my heart drop. I cried a little, asked for some hugs from friends but I knew what the right thing to do was. Suck. It. Up.
I guess we have to learn to accept that not everyone gets it at the first try. Some are more advanced than others. But that doesn't mean they're better . I would like to believe that some fail so that they'd learn better, because sometimes, we get to understand better and more thorough the second time around.
What's great about life is, it won't stop until we get it. It gives us another chance, another shot at things. It gives another opportunity to right the wrongs and to re do what we failed to do.
As I always say.. The difference between the winner and the loser is that a loser fails and quits while the winner fails yet tries again. Life is about trying and trying again. We just have to have patience enough to redo what has to be redone. We can't be beat up by our failures forever. We have to move on. We just have to.
We have to keep faith. In ourselves and in God.
Another chapter tomorrow, leave today to yesterday and face tomorrow with some positivity.
