how many of us can say that we have failed? be it academically, in a relationship, emotionally, to live up to one's expectations or in your career? and how many of us have survived this failure, come out holding our head up high triumphant & stronger? shouldn't we all have at least one opportunity in life to fail & to learn from that experience?
how many of us, especially parents allow our off-springs to fail? naturally all parents want the best for their children, try to provide the best within their means & in turn expect the best from the kids. but can we stand by them, lend a shoulder to cry on & an ear just to listen if they have faltered? can we assure them that they have tried their best, put in their every effort & heart and soul; and that failing is alright? can we help them realise this learning experience & guide them to try again & pray for their success?
i have failed many a times in my life thus far. making bad job choices, bad decisions, was a little too playful when i was a student & sort of survived through studies, & countless other blunders. but god is great.. in life's learning curve, the almighty allows you a second chance & i took every opportunity to right the wrong. and because of that, i am who i am now - as a person, as a friend, as a wife, as a mother....
so for those reading this, if you have in one way or another failed or faltered, fret not. it is not the end of the world. all is not lost, pick up the pieces, give it a little more & try harder. and when you win, you will appreciate it even more & it will make you a better & stronger person. its one of the many steps you take in life's journey...........
