It takes a lot of strength to pick yourself up from failure and try again. Because it is always easier to give you, today I am doing a purely personal reflection post.
At the beginning of this month I started doing a daily inspiration post. For the first few days, I did very well, I wrote my posts and they were ready to be viewed on this blog every day at 8 AM. But then life happened, It was my second week into finals and having taken six classes this past semester, I was crunched down on time. So I focus my time into studying, and thank goodness I passed all my classes. With that came the neglect of my daily inspiration posts, I kept telling myself I’ll do it later on in the day but a later never came and before I knew it it was a day, then a week and here we are now.
I failed, daily means daily and that didn’t happen. After a few days I had already finished my finals but I didn’t go back to doing the daily posts, I went on doing other things and it was always at the back of my mind. Every day I had something I wanted to say, I had some inspiration post in the back of my head that I wanted to write about. Something that may have gotten me through the day or the night during work but I couldn’t find the time to sit down and write it, and post it so that you, the readers, could read it. And that’s the thing with having the motivation to get things done, it’s not that we don’t want to do them or that we don’t know how to do them. It’s the fact that we get wrapped around something else, something else that’s a little bit easier or doesn’t take as much time as the thing we need to do or want to do. It’s pure laziness to be honest and I have to admit that as much as I wanted to write a daily post every single day, had something to write about, and wanted desperately to write about it, I proceeded to sleep it a little longer some days and some days I chose to just wake up and go to the gym, and it wasn’t that I was engaging in some horribly bad habit but it was the fact that anything else seemed like the thing to do. The sad thing is I not only write these daily posts for my readers, I also write the daily posts for me. It is an aspect of my day that I consistently think about, I strive to be inspired by the daily posts. To keep them in mind as I make decisions, to self educate myself, and to self improve.
As I write this post today, I know I am far from perfect. I will continue to fail in my lifetime, and I will continue to learn of ways to always pick myself up. Giving up is not an option, giving up never caused anyone to achieve their dreams and goals.
It is the act of getting up and trying countless amounts of time that brings on achievement
So from today, I will pick myself up, and I’m going to give this daily inspiration post another try. If I fail again, and miss a few days, I will know that it is OK. I will start over and I will try and try and try again because in trying I will not become perfect but I will get very close to being perfect. I will be writing the daily posts and reflecting on them, self improving and educating myself and those who choose to read the posts.
Because” Amaka yandi” which translates “the power is mine”
Indeed the power to keep trying at whatever you want or need to accomplish is yours.
