Zindagi na milegi dobara!! Never stop trying!!

Do you feel like trying some things but never gather courage due to fear of failure?? This fear constantly refrains us from taking chances towards our dreams.

In my opinion, “never trying” is worse than failing. This applies to every aspect of life to include things ranging from sports to relationships to even school. If you never try, then you will never know. Giving up before beginning is rooted in fear, and it is not healthy to live that way. I know that this is a lot easier said than done, but in life we must take chances. We must take chances even at the risk of failure. 

Thinking back, there have been several instances in my life where I never tried out of fear of failing. While I do not necessarily regret my decisions, I do wonder what would have happened if I would have taken that risk or chance. Since being in college, I have realized that I cannot continue to live my life in fear. Never trying is always worse than failing. If you fail at something, it becomes a life lesson you can apply to future situations. 

Even though most people know that it is better to try and fail than to never try at all, they still refuse to take chances. Why is that? According to an article written by knoji.com, “Generally, people give up because they feel that no matter how hard they try, they can’t get these simple things that drive every creature on earth, or that if they do get them, it wasn’t worth the effort.” I am sure everyone has given up on something, whether it be big or small, just because that didn’t feel like doing it anymore. It is human nature to take the path of least effort. This is something that is programmed into our subconscious. This does not mean that we are all inherently lazy, but just that we have a limited amount of effort that we can put towards something. We automatically exert the minimum amount of effort possible in a given situation and once we reach our max, we cannot move past that. This is what leads to giving up in certain situations. We just try to exert too much attention and effort onto something that we cannot. 

Another thing that ties into giving up is learned helplessness. This means that after repeated failures of something, subjects tend to lose all hope and not try at all. This can apply to our lives because if someone constantly fails at something, it is very easy for them to give up future attempts even though it may be possible to succeed. In some cases, we must overcome that self-doubt and risk it all anyways. 

To some, failure is not an option, but honestly, it is better to fail than to never try!!
 

Possessions don’t make you rich! Love does❤️

Only once in your life, I truly believe, you find someone who can completely turn your world around. You tell them things that you've never shared with another soul and they absorb everything you say and actually want to hear more. You share hopes for the future, dreams that will never come true, goals that were never achieved and the many disappointments life has thrown at you. When something wonderful happens, you can't wait to tell them about it, knowing they will share in your excitement. They are not embarrassed to cry with you when you are hurting or laugh with you when you make a fool of yourself. Never do they hurt your feelings or make you feel like you are not good enough, but rather they build you up and show you the things about yourself that make you special and even beautiful. There is never any pressure, jealousy or competition but only a quiet calmness when they are around. You can be yourself and not worry about what they will think of you because they love you for who you are. The things that seem insignificant to most people such as a note, song or walk become invaluable treasures kept safe in your heart to cherish forever. Memories of your childhood come back and are so clear and vivid it's like being young again. Colors seem brighter and more brilliant. Laughter seems part of daily life where before it was infrequent or didn't exist at all. A phone call or two during the day helps to get you through a long day's work and always brings a smile to your face. In their presence, there's no need for continuous conversation, but you find you're quite content in just having them nearby. Things that never interested you before become fascinating because you know they are important to this person who is so special to you. You think of this person on every occasion and in everything you do. Simple things bring them to mind like a pale blue sky, gentle wind or even a storm cloud on the horizon. You open your heart knowing that there's a chance it may be broken one day and in opening your heart, you experience a love and joy that you never dreamed possible. You find that being vulnerable is the only way to allow your heart to feel true pleasure.

It's so real, it scares you. You find strength in knowing you have a true friend and possibly a soul mate who will remain loyal to the end. Life seems completely different, exciting and worthwhile. Your only hope and security is in knowing that they are a part of your life.♡
