I remember when i used to get the most average grades when it came to all the difficult subjects like math or science. I remember being so stressed out because I thought that I would probably go to medical school when it was never in my plans to begin with. As amazing as medical school sounds, it just wasn’t something I was deeply passionate about. I’ve always had a love for the arts, I loved fashion, I loved books, I loved writing and I always knew that I wanted to make it a part of my life. And that’s when I realized that I wanted to be a writer, it was something I’ve always loved doing and could see myself doing. I remember there was this one quote that always stuck with me every time I felt lost or tried to figure out where my next step in life would take me. The words “Rejection is simply redirection” were imprinted in my mind and til this day this quote still resonates with me. After realizing that I didn’t really want to go to medical school and instead focus on studying and becoming a writer things became so much more clear for me. After having this realization, it got me thinking about how so many people change over the years, and how what we once wanted also changes. Some of us get that feeling of being unsure or lost at a point in our lives because we’re not satisfied with what we currently have, until we discover that we didn’t take the risk when it came it the things we truly wanted.
Sometimes we don’t succeed at our first attempt, so we try again and then that doesn’t work out so we become afraid, we get scared that it might not happen for us. That we won’t get what we want and that we’ll have to settle with anything just to avoid trying again. Because, trying again is a risk, and that’s what a lot of us are afraid of, it’s the act of taking a chance. Being bold and brave about making choices that intimidate us. Especially when we’re at a point in our lives where things are not the most stable. It takes courage to take a big risk, and so many carry on in life without knowing what it feels like to take that risk. To apply for that job you’ve always wanted, to start studying a whole new degree, to choose a career that’s far off from everything you’ve ever learned or studied. It’s possible that all of these things could happen for you, but are you going to make it possible for yourself or will you stand in your own way and continue to play it safe?
To say that one never experiences any form of failure is a lie, you will have your failed attempts when it comes to pursuing your goals and your dreams but that’s okay because no one is perfect at anything. It will require you to be patient with yourself and understand that your failed attempts do not make you a failure but make you a learner. As long as you’re capable of picking yourself up every time and reminding yourself that you are so much more than your mistakes is what truly matters. You have to learn how to have your own back and support yourself on all your rough days. But most importantly, you have to take a chance when it comes to pursuing your goals and dreams, you can’t keep living in a “what if” state of mind you have to practice having faith in yourself and your abilities.
