And Why it Means You’ll Succeed.

I think most of us when looking back to the moment that shaped us, would be inclined to agree with the idea that success in any venture required hardships to overcome. Without the difficulties to surpass, there would be no goal to work toward, no future to dream of, and no story to tell, for even the hardest of metals, require to be melted down, molded, and reinforced before taking on the shape they’re meant to become. But we are not like metal, for our ventures can’t be achieved so easily. No, if we were compared to the metals we melt, and the shapes they become, then we would as humans have to be melted down and shaped many times beyond measure, before achieving our true form. Life isn’t so simple, and often times the hardest battles we face are truly within ourselves.

In all aspects to life you can find balance, as it is a fundamental aspect to existence. Look to nature, the stars, or within, balance is key to anything and everything in life. Good can’t exist without bad for comparison, no justice without crimes, joy without sorrow, success, without failure. Every time you fail, you’re given the choice to get back up. Every failure is an opportunity to learn, to grow, to overcome, and to eventually succeed. Anyone can get lucky, anyone can succeed the first time, second, third and so forth, but all luck has its bounds, and without achieving success through the hardships required to keep it is a fleeting venture that leads only to disappointment. Many aren’t ready to accept the responsibility to themselves toward a brighter future where they must hold the resolve to fail many times over, or to have the faith necessary in themselves to hold accountable for the success that can be made possible. We’re all capable of greatness, but possibility doesn’t care for your capabilities, only for the effort you’re willing to put forth to make it reality.

Learn to Embrace Shortcomings.

Acceptance doesn’t mean passiveness if purposefully not allowed. Acceptance can become acknowledgement, the first step to understanding, and understanding something leaves room to learn from it. This is the cycle of success with failure, and learning to love this process as any other passion harbors the seeds to growth to any venture in life.

Nothing ever comes easy in this life however, and learning to love the process of failure can be truly difficult when faced with constant adversity. Unfortunately, and fortunately, there are no shortcuts to success. Just keep pushing forward, staying ever present to the circumstances being faced, but understanding the actions you take shape the future you desire. With every failure comes wisdom, with wisdom growth, with growth, success. Accept that this time might be hard, but if next time is even a little bit easier, then you’re doing something right and learning. Try to give yourself some grace, as life was never meant to be easy, for if it was, we wouldn’t be able to enjoy the process of growing, and that in of itself is its own reward. Nothing beats overcoming adversity, especially personal challenges, and though tedious, as well as frustrating, it’s always a worthwhile venture to succeed in a place where I once failed.

Conclusion

The road to self mastery is a never ending path, but one we all must go down. Life will never be truly easy, and to me that’s okay. One day I’ll look back to where I am today with true understanding to what I had to go through. Until that day however, all I can do is out one foot in front of the other and take it by the day.

Believe in yourself, for you are more capable than you will ever know. – JayesusR
