Better Yourself

     "If you have time to feel sorry for yourself,

to complain, to check social media, to binge watch Netflix, 

then you have time to set goals, work out, prioritize sleep, make a list of 

things you re grateful for and 

better yourself"

by @Jay Shetty

I came across this quote recently on Instagram and this is so relatable to us. Every person has a bad phase in life. If a person says that his/her life is perfect, know for sure that he/she is lying. Life cannot be perfect and it is this imperfection in our lives that makes life worth living. It isn't always important that every step we take in life, every time we decide on something, every time we dare to take a risk, we will succeed. Success is difficult and every time you achieve something with ease, know that you'll value it less because you did not go through all that it takes to achieve it and more importantly you did not face enough hurdles to value it enough. 

When we decide to hold on to something, we do so because we know we need it. We want it more than anything else. But to achieve such a thing isn't that easy. It is because of this difficult path that we choose to go for it because that makes us realize how determined we can be to achieve something, no matter how hard it is. It is that "Never give up, never settle" attitude that matters the most. And trust me, the day you cling on to that "something" with all your might, nothing can keep you away from achieving it. So keep trying. Keep trying hard. And even if you don't achieve it, you know that you gave it your 100%. 

"Life is not a bed of roses", very rightly said, but does that mean we give up on the roses just for the fear of thorns? We don't stop living life because of the hurdles, instead, we fall, we stand up and we fight back. Giving yourself a reason to fight back, to make yourself feel strong, to face the hard facts of your failures is the core behind succeeding. You cannot get up unless you fall. So stop giving yourself excuses and stop excusing yourself for failing. You know you are meant to be at a better position, you know you are meant to get what you deserve, you know your struggles will pay off some day, so...

keep awake

keep positive

keep clinging on and

keep failing and fighting back.
