In any situation, quitting, giving up that is…is easy, anyone can do it; however, it merely creates a false solution that serves only to augment and postpone closure.
Life is such that accomplishing easy goals is not nearly as satisfying as experiencing the trials and tribulations associated with the more difficult and as is sometimes the case, seemingly impossible situations that come our way. That’s why it’s imperative that we trudge past our failures, chock them up as lessons learned, and using every means at our disposal get back on our feet and try again.
Failure, as much–if not more than success is the apprentice to wisdom, for wisdom comes not from age (as so many think). Rather, it comes from experience (living life). We do grow wiser as the years accumulate, not because we have grown older, but because we have had time to experience more.
My point is simple: live all you can all the time…let no thing, no person, and no excuse keep you from being YOU…for it is the YOU in every one of us that makes each of us special, not how many toys we own, how popular we are, or how we look dressed up. It is only from professing the uniqueness of self, that we can discover contentment and wisdom…there is no other way.
I have no doubt, that positive thinking is the foundation for success, however without taking action one is destined for a lifetime of mediocrity.
