Whenever we speak of our failures, we place the blame on everyone and everything, except ourselves. That is, in itself, reason for yet another failure. Those who see success are not born with perfection, but rather they are those who perfect their each and every step, as they move along the path to their goals. In other words, a successful individual is one who realizes his/her own mistakes, and makes every possible attempt to rectify it and thus, straighten the path to his/her goals.
Every obstacle is a stepping stone to a brighter future and the more the obstacles, the easier the climb to success. Yet, this optimism is often amiss in our lives. Most of us take the first step towards our dreams with much enthusiasm and hope, but as soon as we hit our first obstacle, our hope is shattered and we let go of our dreams. What dream is worth having if it isn’t a struggle to attain? What else would make it so special? It is this struggle, the obstacles, the thorns and the stones, I argue, that make the goal so much more attractive.
It is important to acknowledge the hardships to be undergone in pursuit of our goals, but we must remember not to dwell on this struggle, but rather in the vast range of possibilities that await the achievement of our goals. Like the tortoise which competed against the hare in a race and won, we must focus on our goals, and despite how hard it might be to cross the obstacles, or how long it might take us to reach the end of the journey, we must BELIEVE that we CAN achieve! Only then, will we be able to ACHIEVE!
