Sunny days & Starry nights ... Sunday, February 15, 2009
Sometimes i get so ambitious and hopeful that it scares me alot. As a popular cliche goes " The higher the hope, the greater the disappointment". I guess that's why expections trigger a sense of trepidation in me. It's like, on one hand i am really excited about what's going to come, but on the other, something is pulling at me & urging reality to weigh in. And because of this ambivalence, i get so stressed up. I'm not one who worries alot, nor one who thinks up of all the possible things that could go wrong; no i'm not a worry-wart. However, it is the fear of failing that grips me every time. When given a task, my natural, immediate response will be "Just Do It" , but after being confronted with numerous let-downs over the years, i'm seeing a dwindling trend.

People say you get wiser as you get older, experience comes with age. To an extent, that is true. Wiser because you have met with more setbacks than smooth-sailing success, experienced because you have dealt with a multifarious amount of "what-ifs" come true. Therefore, it all boils down to failures, or to put it in a less discouraging way, obstacles. The first time i came across this phrase " What doesn't kill me makes me stronger", it hit me instantly. Obstacles are there for a reason, they are there to teach us something about life. Every time we fail, there is surely a take-away.

Therefore, what's holding all of us back from trying when trying will only make us grow?
I guess i've already answered myself.
