It is a given fact that life in general is not hearts and flowers. All the more should our expectations be at work or what we decided as our chosen career. Surely, when we settled to spend a coupe of years in one place, there will be rosy days and how-bad-moments at the same time. At this point, I cannot translate into words further how my frustrations and shortcomings try to get the best of me. It has been a series of failures week after week, and I cannot point directly which method should I take to uplift myself. Perhaps my "saving grace" to help me carry on is the saying, "Success is ninety percent failure." You may say I am a bit childish to settle on cliches and quotes to give myself a push, but when you're in the dark, when you can't give yourself optimism any longer, it all boils down to the little ways you do to motivate yourself. The obligation to motivate ourselves shouldn't be given to a family, friend or colleague --sure, they would love to support you but they have their own battles too. Being strong and resilient are two different things that complement each other very well. When you're strong, you can take all the punches and accept it. But without resiliency, one cannot bounce back better. Perhaps, that's one of the many things I'd have to learn more. I'd love to arrive on that point wherein when someone asks me to describe myself, I can truly and genuinely say that I am resilient; that without any shame, I can tell stories on how I became resilient on different situations, especially on my career, and let others be inspired by it. All this time, I know my worst enemy in terms of being resilient is myself. I've learned it the hard way, that's why I cannot let it happen again. And so in a few hours, I will once again go to the office, face my battles and hopefully win it after all these struggles.
EYES ON THE PRIZE.
