What a peculiar subject to talk about, isn't it? Your own battle I mean, because if we are being honest you really are fighting a battle at the moment. It might be meaningless or its outcome might change your life but at the end of the day, you are facing something. How would I know this? I know it because I am just like you, I have my fight to prepare for, I have my fight to win.
No matter how much we say this, the truth of it will never fade: you can only rise through hard work, dedication and passion. How passionate are you about what you're trying to achieve? If the answer is "very" then I can say one thing: you have what it takes to succeed.
I mostly write for myself, because I love it. Expressing myself has something very liberating to it. I ponder, I write, delete and reformulate but in the end, I learn. I take time to think and to come up with answers to my questions, with uplifting messages when I'm doubting but above all I try and find the motivation behind my actions. I want to find my purpose.
It all means that when I write something I believe in what I am writing. What I am saying is that you have your battle and even though we all wish it were easier, in order to succeed you have to be the one trusting yourself, you have to be the one to push yourself to the top. You have your purpose, you have your destiny and you have the keys to the mystery that is in your soul. Find that key, find the right lock, find the correct way to turn that key and open that safe. It will lead you to what you want, but as always there will be ups and downs, there will be good and bad and there will be confidence and doubts. The secret is to keep going whether you want to or not. Giving up is not natural to humans. Giving up is something we invented to justify our lack of trust in ourselves.
One thing is very important though and that thing is to accept that sometimes things do not go our way. It is not because you change your mind about something that you are giving up, as long as this decision comes from the heart and will not generate regret. So be sure to differentiate giving up and evolving as they are not the same thing.
As for me, I want to be better. I do not want to waste all the time I have, so I'm going to finish this article and start studying for what I really want.
