As I self-reflect on my life journey; I am reminded of my top 5 life failures and most importantly how I came out stronger with lots of appreciation for the individual that I AM today. It could have been worse. Am I the only one failing through life in this world?
It all started at a very tender age and of course; the list can go on and on…
1. UNDERESTIMATING MY SELF-WORTH
This has been my biggest mistake ever, with so much self-doubt and expecting approval from others while I was losing touch with who I AM, and my greater purpose in this world. As a result, I ended up adopting norms and standards that are not in line with my personal values while trying to please everyone. What a waste of precious and valuable life?
2. FEAR OF FAILURE
With tons of mistakes from my family tree, I so wanted things to be right the very first time thus denying myself an opportunity to explore and make my own mistakes. As a result, I avoided lot of opportunities to demonstrate how great and capable I AM as I kept hiding from “myself” and the world at large. What a missed opportunity?
3. NOT FORGIVING MYSELF
I blamed myself for everything and spent most of my life with so much guilt, hurt and regret as I tried so hard to fix the past while losing touch with my present moment as my future was slowly fading away with no hope for a better tomorrow. How dare do we allow our past to hurt our today, and ultimately bleed in our tomorrow?
4. FIGHTING THE WRONG BATTLES
Only if I knew which battles are worth fighting, and which ones are just not worth my breath. Mostly, I fought outside battles than the ones within. Even worse, fighting losing battle. Is it really worth your breath?
5. SPIRITUAL DISCONNCTION
This is being religiously connected with so much dependence on individuals to connect me with my Creator thus missing the opportunity to be connected with myself, and ultimately my Creator. You know that moment when you are living in hell while hoping for some haven at some point.
Most of the time we underestimate our greatness, worth and the relevance of our existence in times like this.
