Messy thoughts
3 min readAug 8, 2022

We all make plans and live in them before they even happen. We wishfully and imaginarily live in them. We put all our efforts and work into it, hoping it will come alive one day. Sometimes, no matter how hard we try, we fail again and again. Failures hurt. It truly hurts. Most people can’t bear the pain and they won’t move forward. Many lose hope and drop their wishes.

Life is not easy and it never is. You see others going on with their life even when they worked lesser than you. Remember when life doesn’t give you lemons. Maybe you will get something better than lemons. All you need to do is take a deep breath and feel everything is going to be alright. You don’t need to travel on the path exactly as you wished to reach the destination you so admired. Life is full of unknown turns and twists. If you put in the right effort and if it is meant for you then no matter the direction you take, you will surely reach the destination of your dream and most often it would be via the path that you never planned.

The most important thing to do when life hits you hard is to never give up. No matter how difficult it feels. Never never give up and just keep trying. Those who don’t think about the result and work for it are the ones who truly reaches it. The moment you think about your result, without your consciousness you become nervous. Trying is the best thing we can all do. If not today nor tomorrow, one day you will surely reach the destination of your dreams. Failures teach you lessons and it improves you. So, every time you fall, try to think about what went wrong and correct the mistakes next time.

While you run behind your dreams and hit the wall several times. Don’t get too serious and stressful. Many exaggerate struggle. Struggle is good but not at the level that makes you lose yourself. Just hustle at the right amount and enjoy the little things around. After all, no matter how big we accomplish in our life, we are going to lose all of them one day. So, live up to your needs and don’t play your life to satisfy others as we only have one. We come with nothing and we leave with nothing. Enjoy the experiences in between no matter how intense it is. When you fail, take it easy and move on. Be proud that you tried.

Most people run for their dream without even thinking things through. Before you hustle and bustle, ask yourself the right question. Sometimes the destination we wanted to reach so madly isn’t truly the same as we expected. Everybody wants to become a princess and then they realize they need to compromise freedom. Before you plan on your dream, just think if it is something you truly want and answer the question, why you want it.

Trying is the best thing we can all do.

This universe plays the melancholy of life. Everything happens for a reason. Your failures, your regret and your pain. All shapes you into the right person of your dreams. Every tear you shed will beautifully shape your heart and it makes you stronger. Those who can cope with their failures are the true successful people. Only very few people get what they want in life and the rest fails. It’s alright. Be proud that you tried. The experiences and the climb are what truly matters and not the view. Next time you are in a sunken hole of failures, Move on bravely one step at a time.
