“The ones who always finish second in the race and stand third in the class. The average achievers. The ones whose eyes are filled with the brightest dreams and the ones who strive really hard to achieve them, but it’s never enough.”

“The ones who know what it really means to fall down nine times and get up ten. The ones who are good at everything but not really the best.”

“I know how it feels. I know how it feels when you spend hours reading motivational quotes on the internet just so you save yourself from giving up. I know how it feels when you look at other people and wonder how they must be feeling by being the best.”

“I know how it feels when you make yourself stand stronger than ever after every failure and promise yourself to give your best. You know you’re almost there but you never seem to make it.”

“Here’s something for all such people: You’re enough. If you’ve dared to dream something, you’re enough to make it happen. All the failures and struggles are a part of your story, an important part. Because one day, when you are actually there, living your dream, you’ll not want it any other way. You’ll know why whatever happened, happened and you’ll smile looking back at all the obstacles and how you faced them. Believe in your efforts because one day, you’ll be proud that whatever you’ve earned wasn’t earned the easy way, but you decided to keep going and made it there.”

“Just another person amongst you, Believing in the dreams and trusting the struggle.”

Thank you for reading. I will be regularly sharing my work and my words. Do follow me to catch them all :).
