We find out as we get older that life seems to come around full circle, over and over again. One of the most important things to remember is that we need to keep beginning and failing, beginning and failing and then we begin all over again, and fail. Each time we hit the cycle, we understand ourselves that much more. We become stronger, smarter, more resilient and readier to take on a new purpose, a purpose that we had never thought possible. Frustration and problems make you want to quit but you hang strong anyways.
I had a young friend ask me recently: “Wouldn’t it be easier if we only had to do something once and get it?” That one was hard to argue with but eventually convinced her that the knowledge was hidden in the crevices of the cycle. To understand success, you have to marry frustration for a while.
How is it that we get wiser each time around I hear you ask? I can equate it to the saying, “The more we know, the more we know that we don’t know.” The mind grows at each cycle because every time that we start, we start with a new and clearer perspective. The more we keep it going, the more the mind grows and understands. The more you repeat, the more it becomes habit and you don’t have to think about it as much anymore.
What do you think is stopping you from new opportunities or achieving your goals? Take the time to write down all these things that you believe is stopping you and work on them, over and over again till they are gone from your mind. How many times will it take? It will take you as long as it takes to find a new and better you. Remember, you never actually fail, you just need to practice more.
Don’t fret, don’t quit, you will get there in time! Make it a great day everyone! Believe in the cycle and the process will eventually set you free.
