Do you believe in unlimited chances?
Do you believe that something will change as long as you keep going on it?
Do you believe that you can achieve something as long as you don't give up on your dreams?
Or are these beliefs made to fool us all?
"Failures will teach us how to succeed."
This is certainly what we always hear from our elders everytime we fail.
However, it does not.
What failures teach us is only the feeling of depression and frustrations. It doesn't teach us how to succeed.
Only those who have felt the fire of success can really succeed.
However, do you know that life is a full twisted phenomenon?
To those who feel like they are on their way to their dreams in life, please focus on this part.
Now, let's go back to the days when you feel like you are no more than a failure in this world. On the days when you almost took your life because it seems like your existence has no definition and destination.
Do you remember the emotions you felt by then deep inside your heart?
Do you remember the pain that you felt that day?
Do you remember the countless tears that unintentionally fell from your tired eyes?
Do you remember the sensation that weakens your body every second of the day?
Do you remember the cries you've been wanting to release and shout out to the world because you cannot take the pain anymore, and the frustration is already killing your heart and your soul inside, and you just can't cry it all out because you are ashamed to show to those people who believed in you that you failed?
Do you remember the nights when all you did was cry and question yourself?
Do you remember it?
If you do, congratulations.
You are now taking your steps to success.
Why?
How?
Try to think of it.
If being a failure doesn't make you feel that way, would you ever start keeping the fire on?
NO.
The time you feel the sense of success on your very first try, you will never push the challenge.
If you won from the very beginning of the game, you will never be able to see how far the leading gamers from you. You will never see the horizon of your goals. You will never feel the urge to win because you already did even before trying.
And the game will never be worth it.
Failure gives us all the emotions that fire up the sleeping monster within us.
And these emotions, in the beginning, becomes the salt to the wound and the gasoline to the fire.
They trigger our biggest curiosity to what winning is.
Failures don't teach us how to succeed, but, emotions after failures do.
That is why whenever we get to taste the delicious feeling of success, we learn.
We learn how to keep the pace, and we learn what we should improve to take the higher steps.
Little by little...
One by one...
We take the stairway to our heaven slowly...
And each step we take is a breath-taking one.
And once we take those steps, there is no turning back. That's how we learn how to keep going.
However, whoever told you to forget your painful past is a total idiot.
You may move on with your life but never forget the pain of it.
Always remember the pain so that you can keep the fire inside you burning.
Those painful emotions make you focus on your goal so that you won't feel it again in your present and in your future.
Remember that by pain, we prove that we are still alive and kicking.
By pain, we learn.
By pain, we go.
By pain, we keep the pace.
By pain, we learn.
By pain, we become stronger.
By pain, we earn chances.
To those who are still in their painful situations, remember this one thing.
