There was a time when I was struggling massively in my life and then I was not doing anything simply because most of the things I tried I failed and the more I failed the less it made me want to try another thing. I hate disappointing myself and each disappointment gives me another reason not to do anything. It got to a point where I started to think maybe there was one spiritual attack on my life because I wasn’t getting anything right, little did I know that I was getting better with more disappointment than I got. It doesn’t look like that to me, It looks as if I’m failing in life and I should stop inflicting pain on myself.
As time goes on, I realize that I can’t just give up on myself and I should keep trying. I failed so many times I also failed in Business even here on Hive, there was a time that I was struggling and it also seems that I don’t even have a future here on Hive because I struggle with almost anything I laid my hands upon, but I did not give up. Forward now, I realize that most of the things that I failed are the things giving me money now and it’s not as if I have perfected them, I still have so many things I can improve on but I am better than then and I give myself room to make a lot of mistakes which has been helpful in my journey.
It is normal to want to give up, sometimes when everything gets tiring you just have to find your inner strength and we must keep pushing regardless.
Nobody enjoys failure, and when you tell people to make more mistakes, it sounds to them as if you don’t know what they are going through. I’ve been in that phase before where I don’t know how to do anything and this does not have anything to do with you being dumb or lazy. It is just a phase of life where you need to improve on a lot of things. If you’re not getting a lot of things right this is when you should keep trying and never give up because you are working on yourself, you know you are not a finished product yet, in the journey of life there is always room for improvement. In my journey, one obvious thing was I am not perfect but I Just have to keep trying.
Many people are so confused thinking everything should just keep working out because they are trying, but it is not like that. It’s a process you will get something right and will get a lot of things wrong but if you keep trying without giving up by the time you look at your life a few months or years later, you will see a massive difference, and these as a result of compounding little achievements together. When you look at top industries in the world, It is not as if they get it right at once, most of them have improved over time and even as we speak, they are still improving. Some of us are lucky to get instant results and unbelievable change overnight, but that doesn’t apply to everybody for most people they have to build with consistency.
You’re not a magician and don’t let another person's success story convince you that you’re not doing enough even when you’re making several mistakes Keep on enjoying it because small improvements you are making will make a lot of difference at the end of the day.
If you look at Apple's story, it is the kind of story that’s very fascinating. Look at where they were a few years ago and where they are now people will tell you that they are not making obvious improvements. They are making little improvement that if you’re not careful you may not notice but all those improvements have compounded over time. They still have one of the best products in the market and they are getting better each year. They know that there is room for improvement and they don’t stop themselves from making such improvements and they are giving room to make more mistakes that is a billion-dollar company. Why are you harsh on yourself, you are just starting.
Mistake and failure is not the end of the world. If you ask me, I will tell you to make more mistakes and never stop trying new things, new things will be difficult and you may not get it right for a few months but if you don’t give up overtime you realize that you’re better than when you started. This applies to everybody who has seen obvious change. The obvious fact is that you can improve and get better, always leave room to Try new things, make more mistakes, and get better that’s the key to a better life.
Thanks for your time.
