So you tried hard for something worthy in your life and you failed in it and That’s Okay. Failure strikes the best of us.

Here’s a list of all the times we tried going to the Mars and failed:

Over-achievers aren’t common in any part of the world and if we (the normal Homos) don’t have an extraordinary IQ, well it’s not our fault. Is it?

That’s the consolation you needed.

Moving on, Take a look at this

These are three lines. Lines that can signify the different paths of life that a person can take.

Look at the first line.

Line (a), it’s a straight line with no slope.

One can walk on it, you don’t have to put any extra efforts to walk, just make sure you keep walking and eventually you’ll reach somewhere. But there is more to it. Do you notice the fact that whenever you stop walking this path you’re on the same level as the one on which you started out, you haven’t raised yourself to any level higher than before. That’s the path that most people will choose.

Have a look at the second line

Line (b), it’s a straight line with some slope on it, One will find it difficult to walk on it. It’s tiresome and the journey feels harsh on us. It takes quite some effort just to maintain ourselves at any point because the natural tendency is to slide down, the forces will try to pull you down and you have to work really hard to walk any further and to get anywhere but also notice that whenever and wherever you stop, you’ll find yourself to be at a higher level than that at which you were at your previous stop.

Not all people take this journey and aren’t capable of, it’s the path less travelled, it’s the path you will travel if you want to be successful in whatever it is that you’re aiming for in life.

Finally, the third line

The third path is the easiest one, the one signified by the line (c), just surrender yourself to the will of your life, be on it’s mercy and be a rolling stone, you’ll definitely reach somewhere but whenever you do you’ll find yourself in a pity condition. That’s the path you’ll take if you listen to everyone else around you.

To sum up.

It’s okay to fail. The important thing is that you keep walking the right path, for when it all ends, you’ll find yourself at a better place than from where you started.
