I attempted… I failed!
I was surprised. How did I fail; I tried the right way, then?
I choose to attempt again. I failed again. Just couldn’t believe it.
Why? How? This time I took much care and made sure I followed all steps to achieve it. Then why did I fail?
Bit anxious, bit worried and with lot of determination I attempted again. But this time too same result. Failure!
Was I doing it right? Was it that I was just repeating my failure without actually attempting it?
I decided to give up!
But then it was still bothering me. The failure was bothering me. I was not able to give up. I was thinking why were my attempts failing? I was doing everything in right manner. Was there something I was missing in my trials?
I decided to take it easy and may be attempt with a fresh mind.
Next day I was determined to attempt again and this time I had thought of an alternative way of trying it.
I did things patiently and closed my eyes to say my little prayers. Oops I failed! But not completely, I started seeing the hope as my efforts were not completely wasted; I could see some success and this time I very well knew why it failed.
With corrective actions I attempted and saw the light of success. I was thrilled. I was happy and my excitement had no bounds. I felt like shouting to tell everyone it worked this time! I didn’t fail and I could achieve it.
My soul was at peace. Not because I got success. Success was definitely one attribute but most important was I did not give up. If I had given up I would have felt the failure more than the actual failure.
Never give up is the lesson learnt! Sometime we are required to explore all the possibilities before tasting the sense of success. Success it not that important but to be able to attempt it, to consistently keep trying makes it easier to make way through the difficult paths.
