Falling Down
We fall down. It�s life. We see problems occur, we face them, and we deal will them - through life and/or death, externally and/or internally. Yet what if I told you that falling down was a blessing? No way, you might say, yet think about it. Let�s see the contradiction as well as the similarity.
Think of a cultural war, a religious war. A war between two sides. One side prays and meditates for the other side to loose. And visa-versa, the other side does the same. Well, one occurrence is going to happen it seems. One�s going to loose, one is going to win...right. One is going to have to be granted. So if both sides believes in the same belief, and is faithful and true to their cause, how must it be solved?
This means that one that is true and faithful to what they believe in...yes, is going to fail and loose the war. So, they perceive it as their religion not being enforced? Wrong. They believe, and they stay strong with that they focus on. And since one side has lost, they realize their faults for losing the war. It was meant to be. Could this have stopped an even greater war? We don�t know if this war has actually saved more lives because the other side has won.
Who is to blame? No one. Life goes on. Failure can be a blessing, only if we want it to be. Since our failure help us realize that yes, there is a passing, and that we can understand the situation better, we can see that it was better off this way.
So, if you see yourself as a failure...think of it this way. That we are serving our purpose, that there is another chance, that we actually pass by failing. We PASS through life. And we are part of it. No exceptions.
That is part of how wonderful we all are. That we are beings, and have the decision and mobility to succeed, even if we do fail...and keep on failing.
I know I fail. A lot. And I�m proud of it. I�m part of life, and I served my purpose. And I am blessed for it to be this way, to even have a chance to live the life I always dreamed of. Remember to not be afraid of mistakes...but to understand them.
