Is it Okay to Fail?
How tough it is to say, "I am Strong" when all I earn is a failure as a ‘reward’. Every morning I wake up with a Promise to myself, "This is my day, I'm responsible for my happiness and I will make it happen." But there lies a Fear that keeps haunting me, "What if I fail?"
I may stumble, fall and get bruised. I'm crying in pain, nobody is offering me a helping hand rather than mocking my existence. Should I blame myself and give up on life? I laid therein that dark room alone. Crying deeply till the eyes got numb and face too tired to express itself. The room was calm and quiet just little sobs were heard. I questioned myself again, "Do I really deserve this moment?” Suddenly, it felt like someone was there in the room along with me, but Who? Wait, Is it Me?
“Yes!” She was sitting at the edge of the bed, staring ‘Me’. She began narrating ‘Her’ story that she lives in a “World of Carpers” who said she was not good enough. They constantly brought her down, humiliated her and pointed out her flaws. They pushed her from the cliff of hope down deep in the ocean of despair. I watched ‘Her’, a tear rolled down her cheek. I asked her, "How are you still surviving?" She said,” Because I don’t want to give up." Suddenly she vanished. I rolled to the other side of the bed, came back to my senses again and said, “I got my Answer”.
I asked a few questions at the beginning of my story; all had a unanimous answer,"I AM ENOUGH!” strong enough to stand in a storm alone. I’m like the last Knight in a war who is still swaying his sword till his last breath whilst blood oozing profusely from his wounds. My bruises have formed various constellations representing my strength. The healing scars are proof that I never gave up.
In Mahabharata, when Arjun lost hope,tried to give up on his life then Lord Krishna said, "They are coward Arjun! Who except for their duty take refuge in the feet of death. A man is incapable only when he stops trying”.
That’s it! Life may be tough but remember you are tougher. You are capable of everything just trust yourself.
