“Life doesn’t have U-Turn, but you can always grow.” We all came across so many people in our lives with a different perspective towards life. During my school days, I remembered that my teacher used to make us learn a quote i.e “ Success is never-ending, Failure is never final”. At that time, I never understood what this quote actually meant. I understood it literally but never had a flavor of it in real life. But right now, I'm at that phase of life where I have my fair share of experience and dealing with this world. There was a time where I was trapped in the so-called rat race. Like always running behind the fruit of my hard work and getting upset if it's not up to my expectations. I forgot that in this world there is always going to be someone smarter than you, richer than you or someone dumber than you, poorer than you. And this bridge is always going to exist. So why not nurture your capabilities, talents and collect life experiences which will be beneficial to you in the long run.
Add value to your personality, skills so that you can add value to someone’s life. From our childhood days, we all have heard “ Don’t waste money, it doesn’t grow on trees”. So what we learn here is, grasp your skills to that level where people themselves will be willing to give you money. Hence, Run behind learning new skills until you will reach your true potential.
Sometimes we go through bad phases, In case you feel that everyone out there is stopping you to achieve your goal. Then just take a small gap and introspect yourself i.e What you are capable of? What you could be in the near future? And where you are right now. Fill that gap and restart the journey. Have faith in whatever you do, don’t clip your wings. Tell yourself “ Today is the first day of the rest of my life”
