That you’ve knocked yourself, beaten and then condemned yourself because of that feeling of not doing enough.
You imagine how you would make it in life;
those you see as your mates in the ‘sky’ flying rather than walking on
bare earth.
Yea! I have also harbored such thoughts, with great
desires burning in my heart yet seeing NOTHING in return. Oh! I even
created a self prison, entered(surely I did) smiles, locked the door and
threw away the key.
What kept ringing was that I won’t amount to
anything regardless of what I do. That I had no capabilities. That my
total being was useless and unlike the other person, I’m INSIGNIFICANT
in every way.
Guess what kept me in that ‘prison’; still waiting to see if you would figure it out… Have you???
Certainly, it was FEAR, and oh! MISTAKES, PAST and more importantly not seeing my desired outcome whenever I take those steps.
Until I learnt, though it actually took a while that what was more important was PROGRESS not PERFECTION.
Progress of taking a step regardless of whether I fall as I take the next step because that is what REALLY matters.
That it is a PROCESS and PROGRESS is far more important…
