What is it within us that gets panicky at every small failure? Was everlasting success at everything ever promised to us? I don’t think so!
Do we even remember how many
times since we were children, we have fallen, cried for a bit, picked ourselves
up and moved on merrily with all memory of the fall completely erased? And it
had not taken us more than a few minutes!
And now, as adults, what has
happened to us all? We amplify every little setback. We let it erode our self-esteem.
We are unable to forget and move to the next opportunity. Those memories of
past failures travel with us, tainting our present with self-doubt and fear of
yet another failure. And we stop living! We just exist because there is no
alternative.
Why not become children again, at
least in our heads? Forgive, forget and move on with enthusiasm into a new
phase with a new zeal! Life has so many new packages to offer. It is never too
late.
