The world is a nasty place. No matter how strong and tough you are, sometimess, someday, someone is going to take you down. They would want to keep you there but only if you let them. And this will happen to all of us - you, me, everyone.
Does that mean it's ok to get hit?
It's not about you getting hit. It's about how hard you can get it and then come back, take the road again and re-start the journey. That's how you get that winning streak.
Pain is not permanent and won't last forever. There are ways it can be subsided and eventually, it subsides for sure. There will be new pains the next day but even those will go. The greatest pain will come if you quit because it will never subside. If you quit, it lasts forever and remains within you.
It is your dream and you have to protect it. People will never want you to grow because you are tough competition. But if you want it, you gotta get it. Simple!
Don't be afraid if you lose. You can't win always but that doesn't mean you stop trying. Every day is not the same. Something different is going to happen tomorrow and you might win.
It's all about how badly you want to achieve your dreams and how hard your run to chase them. Everybody falls, but those who stand up again are the ones who win. It's on you if you want to go down after falling or walk again towards your goal. We don't have an option to fall or not but we do have an option to rise again.
Not all of us love success as much as we love our sleep and food. That's why all of us are not Bill Gates or Steve Jobs. They didn't care if they slept just for an hour or ate just a slice of bread the entire day. They had different asks from life and that's why they reached so far. It's not easy after all. If it was, all of us would be there and then it won't even mean much.
Live with a feeling that you can do it, you are capable of doing it. And that is when you will get it. Don't live with a feeling of inadequacy.
Life is short and uncertain. You never know how much time is left for you. Don't fall short of a dream, don't stop expecting more from life. Do all of it but side by side, put your feet down and run as fast as you can so that it's not too late to get where you want.
Have a nice, hard-working day!
