Failure is Success in Progress: Failure Should Not Make You Stop Trying

-
Image
  We often view failure as the end of the road. But the truth is, failure is only a bend on the journey toward success. As humans, we are easily discouraged by setbacks, believing that this setbacks is the limits of our abilities. However, failure should not be seen as a sign to quit. Each mistake, setback, rejection or disappointment holds a valuable lesson that shapes our path and strengthens our resolve. Some of the world’s most successful individuals experienced numerous failures before achieving greatness. Thomas Edison made thousands of attempts before inventing the lightbulb, yet he famously said he didn’t fail—he simply found ways that didn’t work. This mindset highlights a powerful truth: failure is not the opposite of success, but part of the process. Every attempt brings you one step closer to your goal, provided you don’t give up. When we allow failure to defeat us, we rob ourselves off the opportunity to grow. Perseverance in the face of challenges builds character, re...

"Understanding Forgiveness: Why We Struggle with Those We Love Most"

-
Image
Forgiveness can be tricky, especially when it comes to the closest relationships we have. We often find it easier to forgive people we don’t know well compared to our close friends and family. This is because we expect those we love to understand us better and act accordingly. When they let us down, it hurts more, making it harder to forgive them. On the other hand, when someone we’re not close to does something wrong, we tend to take it less personally. We might think, “They don’t really know me, so it’s not a big deal.” This distance helps us let go of the hurt more easily. We can brush off their actions because we don’t have the same emotional investment in the relationship. However, it’s important to remember that everyone makes mistakes, including our loved ones. They might act out of stress or misunderstanding or whatever it is they're going through at that point in time, just like everyone. When we expect perfection from those closest to us, we set ourselves up for disappoin...

No One is Immune to Failure or Hardship

-
Image
  One of the most important virtue to uphold in life is humility. It's easy to become swept up in success, to take pride in achievements, and even mock or look down at those who may be struggling or facing setbacks. However, as the saying goes, “what goes up always comes down”, and the very things we laugh at today may become our reality tomorrow. Life has a way of reminding us that no one is immune to failure or hardship. By remaining humble, we are not only protecting ourselves from the pitfall of arrogance, we are also ensure that we maintain the empathy and resilience needed to weather the unexpected twists and turns life throws at us. People who become overly confident or critical of others often forget that their present circumstances are not guaranteed to last forever. It's easy to look down on someone who hasn’t achieved the same level of success, not realizing that the same fate could befall anyone no matter how careful we are. I’ve seen many individuals who, in their ...

The Internet Has No Emotions: Be Careful What You Share

-
Image
  In today’s digital age, the internet has become an essential part of our lives, allowing us to communicate, share, and express ourselves in ways that were once unimaginable. However, we must always remember that the internet is not a neutral space—it lacks emotions, empathy, and understanding. Unlike face-to-face conversations where body language and the tone of conversation can convey intentions. Online interactions are often stripped of these nuances which can lead to misunderstandings, misinterpretations, and even harm. Once something is shared online, it can be taken out of context, spread rapidly, and impact your reputation in ways you may not anticipate. Even if you don’t actively post personal content or opinions online, you are still vulnerable to the internet. The internet has a vast network of individuals who may share information about you, whether it's your image, thoughts, or private moments, without your consent due to what you post online. In some cases, a seemingl...
