Life
is a journey into the mysterious. For some it may be well and rosy, while for
others nothing seems to just work out the expected way. When life smiles at
one, things are bound to be exceptionally good for that fellow but when one is
at the receiving end of life one would think all hope is lost.
Success
in life requires no formal education. Educated fellows are known to have
completely failed in life while the illiterates are successful.
Nobody
expects to fail in life but almost always they also fail to succeed in life’s
endeavours. Failure in an attempt to achieve success in one’s chosen career is
not the end of life for that individual. People who eventually fail in life are
those who fail once and refuse to take up the challenge and move ahead. In
life, failure is just a stepping stone towards success. One can only succeed
well by learning a positive lesson from past failures.
When
failures are not seen as mistakes which when diligently corrected can bring
about success, then the dream of overcoming it and turning things around for
good would have been dashed.
Life
is not a bed of roses. Life’s challenges stand like a stick of candle. No
matter how hard or long a candle stick is, it cannot withstand a handshake from
fire. When you face the challenges of life as they come, they would have no
option but to walk out of the way. Success in life can only be possible where
there is the absence of fear.
Fear
is a killer, a strong weapon deployed by the forces of nature to capture and
imprison countless individuals. Those who are constantly afraid to take risks
in life are in most cases to be found in the valley of failure.
Once
fear is conquered the journey to the land of success begins. Again, it is one
thing to succeed and it is quite another to remain successful in life. This is
where attitude comes in. To get to the top could be strenuously easy, but
remaining there is a herculean task. For this reason, those who are successful
are striving to become more successful in their various fields while those at
the bottom are desperately struggling to climb the ladder of success.
Choice
is another factor to be considered in this regard. Some may choose to be
successful in life while others from the beginning have made up their minds to
fail. When you fail to dream and appropriately put plans in motion, set goals
geared towards the realisation of that dream, then it is apparent that in the
journey of life you chose to travel in an air-conditioned bus of failure with
the glasses tinted so that you won’t be seen, recognised and rescued.
Did I hear
you say, God forbid?
