No one is free from failures and setbacks. I learned this fact in my late thirties. Don’t get me wrong. I had many setbacks but I always worked hard to achieve my goals. And I was getting what I want until I hit my late thirties.
By then, I had my own family, and I realized that there were many things beyond my control. And many unexpected curve balls started happening in my life. I was busy taking care of my family and was working hard to keep the normalcy in our lives despite the unexpected happenings. Recalling those days, I was not leading my life but was just going along with where it took me.
Now I am facing another challenge in life. I felt as if someone knocked me out with an upper-cut punch right at my jaw. I felt a TKO for the last couple of days, trying to move, but all I could do was to lie down on my back, looking up the bright ring light thinking, “Am I done?”.
After massive soul searching, I heard my inner voice finally said, “I’m not done yet. Get up and fight again. Fight tooth and nail.” That was the moment I started positive energy flowing inside me.
You cannot hide from your failures and setbacks. You cannot avoid them. They are part of our lives. Then face them straight and fight them tooth and nail. That is the only way for our salvation and a road to our victory.
