Life's learning

Being here on this planet earth for more than two decades has taught me something about life. I looked back and realized i was running a rat race. It felt i had to prove to the entire world that i'm worthy of your attention and time. Individuality and being 'myself' were mere words used by me to flaunt the self esteem or confidence. The words like patience and steadiness were meant only for oldies. Success was a goal for which i was ready to sacrifice all i possessed.

Never knew when these changes started settling in my mind. The rat race becomes a race with my own expectations and short-term goals. The contentment of fulfilling these small goals is what brings happiness to my life. The entire world is not worthy of my attention and time, only a few of them deserve the bonding. Individuality makes more sense to me now. I try to be 'myself' because that is what i'm best at. Failure doesn't disturb me much, because i understand i can't be good at all things. But at the same time, it gives me the experience of one more thing which i tried. Patience teaches me never to stop doing what i feel i'm best at, and one day i'll achieve it for sure. Success won't come on that particular day when my dreams would be accomplished, it's the path of perseverance on which i steadied myself all day and night to achieve my goals.

All in all, i feel i'm a happier person and these learnings of life will take me ahead in life as well.
