"It's okay to Fail!"

Streets are on a busy mood. People hustle here and there - preparing for the zenith of christmas celebration - eight (8) days from now. Also, traditional christmas parties are everywhere - and that means booze and food until early morning! This is the time of the year where people loosen up, shake their booty to the tune of frolicking and spirit of fun. Admittedly, I forgot I have a timeline to keep and a goal to achieve - been dancing with the season. I felt so bad - just started my challenge days ago and here I am savoring that guilty indulgence. Don't get me wrong, I may be faulty yet I'm not giving up. This day may be a downside still, I'm hopeful that tomorrow is a better one.
The same note goes to you, don't be so hard on yourself GIVE IN, INDULGE And do not fear failure.

"Life is naturally designed to be flawed. Nobody lives the grandeur of ease without the roller  coaster ride. Failure is inevitable - it exists for a good reason. Embrace it and learn well."

History wise, inventors, leaders, kings and queens did encounter fiasco. However, it did not stop them from guiding the arrow to the bull's eye. It takes a real hard work, dedication and patience. It may be bitter but its produce is sweeter than honey - success.

Because In failing you....

Understand the dilemma of others  - "I feel you", the phrase you'd say to a person who's going through the turmoil you've been once. The sense of empathy drives you to help and do more to ease the pain. It becomes a moving factor that makes you care and be extra sensitive to others  - you start putting yourself On the shoes of the person grieving. You go beyond feeling  - you act!

Get back UP - You are caught unprepared - failures comes in all angle leaving you shattered. Fear not, check your left chest where you can feel the heartbeat, if youcan still feel the "tugs, tugs, tugs", well it is a music - sound of life, you are still alive. You have to keep in mind that as long as you're alive you will survive the test of time. Just a matter of picking yourself back up, piece by piece until you are whole again.

Create Fresh perspective - down moments of life allows you to dig deep, evaluate  and recalculate the steps you took. You take the time and space to innovate and approach life anew.

Become Meek in Spirit - going through the downside is life's way of teaching humility. To keep you on track and on the ground. It maintains balance - a reminder to appreciate what you have in life and be thankful.

Grow in Strength and Wisdom - Failure gives the best lesson in life - like a hard core teacher that leaves a student wise and strong. You become the bamboo that sways with the wind - you bend but doesnt break. It leaves a remarkable resilience on your person, making you geared on anything that life throws at you.

Discover your "fiery" side -  You will unearth a part in you that stands for a fight. No matter how blue your world becomes, you will struggle to survive  and eventually heal. There is that nature in us that overcome all challenges. It lay sleeping within but once triggered, it will naturally come out - giving you that tug to get back up.

We've been through a lot, yes, you and I. The ordeal we've been through may vary, but I know that the degree of pain and misery toys on the same gauge - beyond words. We may have cried mercilessly and questioned our worth, however, we emerged in one piece and managed to cope.

When everything else fail, give your shoulder a tap, hey! It's okay,  "legends are made out of polished failures". 

Live, fail, get back up and succeed!
