There
will be some failure. There will be obstacles to the path of happiness and
success. There will be times we think of giving up; but we have to persevere
and continue on living a life with sense of responsibility and purpose."
Sometimes we think of being incapable of reaching our dreams and desires. It
seems that we recede from our ambition to reach our destinations in life.
Suddenly, we get scared and we lose the momentum of achieving better results.
However, there are times when we are at our highest peak. We have reached
our goals and dreams because of our strong desire and commitment. Our faith
leads us to get there—the path towards glorious success.
If life is a cycle, I must agree! — We experience how it is to be on
the "peaks and valleys". Life teaches us that no matter how difficult
it may seem, still we have to move forward like a cycle that keeps
moving on. We have a human potential to achieve something better that we should
not fear.
NEVER DOUBT
Perhaps one of the reasons why we do not have progress is due to lack of
confidence and belief in ourselves. We fear of committing mistakes, we fear to
be judged, we fear to rise up and shine.
I used to have fear of failure that I would have not tried my best in the past.
I was shy then, and not able to speak my mind. I never thought that fear would
have sabotage my chances of success for not giving my best. Now, I have built
confidence and positive outlook in life, and it amazes me whenever I think of
what my life would have been if I never decided to reform.
Some people may still be living a life full of doubts and self-criticism. It is
not too late to step up from the shadow. I must believe we start to analyze our
self and have the courage to give more of what we have. There is indeed a
dormant positive force within us that is waiting to be tapped.
WE CAN BE
I have learned that we have to unleash our potentials. We have been gifted of a
great mind to think beyond the limits—to think in an extraordinary way. There
is something within us that is hidden and would be useful once we have learned
to develop it. We can be someone that others would not have thought of. We can
be a person who once believed that 'it is impossible'.
Possibility only happens once the result is seen. We may have been condemned
and ridiculed of our wishes, and they may have doubt about our capabilities.
However, people do not truly know the hidden potential that lies within us.
HUMAN POTENTIAL
Anyone can unleash potentials no matter whom and what he is. We may be familiar
of some real life stories of how a poor man became a CEO of a company, how a
college dropped out became successful and has a massive influence or even how
an uneducated man became a leader.
Educational status is not a mere factor to become who we are. It is the use of
our mind power—our hidden potential. We are all capable of tapping on this
potential but we have the huge responsibility to carry.
What about people in late adulthood who have discovered their abilities in
artistic activities like painting, film-making or in public speaking and
leading a group? It must be that they have learned to unleash their full
potential. It was there hidden in their younger years, but only then they have
finally make a better use of it.
If only we have the talent and the skills about something, it is now the time
to improve it and make the best things possible through it. This time, you
should not have more doubts and negative beliefs but must have confidence and
competence.
THE LESSON
In our pursuit to happiness, we may still encounter mistakes along the way
leading to unhappiness; but we have to keep up with our hopes and high spirit.
We have to learn how to live with our fullest potential.
I admit I am not perfect, and never will be; but I have the relentless desire
to live what I am capable of and that enables me to move closer towards the
goal I have set.
There will be some failure. There will be
obstacles to the path of happiness and success. There will be times we think of
giving up; but we have to persevere and continue on living a life with sense
of responsibility and purpose.
We can be ourselves and start to light up our world unleashing our true and
full potential. We deserve the best in life, and it is now the time to offer
our best in return.
