If you have been actively following the social media content over the last few years, you will notice that the topic of failures has been extensively discussed over these past years. And in those discussions, a number of perspectives have been shared on failures. Some of those perspectives tell us how we should view failures as a steppingstone to success while others talk about finding the lessons in failures. A few other perspectives talk about how great things can happen when you allow yourself the risk of a failure while others stress on the importance of trying again and again after failing until you meet success.
And even though every single one of these perspectives has value and may resonate with people who need a different lens to view their own failures, however, what these perspectives have in common is that their purpose is to inspire people and give them hope after they have failed so that they can keep going and keep trying even when they don’t believe they have it in them to get to the finish line.

Do you find yourself hustling from one task to another, one goal to another all the time?
Do you feel like the life you have today doesn’t quite meet your expectations of how your life should be?
Do you feel if you can just get that next job, the next promotion, the next car, the next house, the next relationship, it will bring you the happiness and satisfaction that has been missing from your life?
Even if this entire world of humans may disagree that we are all the same and connected with each other but the one thing we will absolutely agree on is that all of us either consciously or unconsciously are wanting to become happy. Happiness seems to be the ultimate goal or aim or nirvana in our lives and the purpose of our lives seems to revolve around the attainment of this happiness goal.

One of the most beautiful things that a human being can ever feel in his lifetime is love. Our ability to love someone and to be loved by someone is pure grace, its God itself. Love is the reason we want to wake up and love is the reason we want to do anything in life, with life. Love makes us forget pain and suffering. Love makes life worth living. Love is the truth.
Yet if you turn on the TV or access social media right now, you may need a lot of assurance to believe that love is in fact the truth, it is in fact what’s keeping this world alive. Because from what meets the eye, this world seems to be acting like a highly strong-willed toddler who is in the middle of a really bad tantrum. And even though this toddler is in pain and wants to be loved and hugged so that she can calm down, yet, her ability to allow herself to be loved and hugged has been hijacked by her own emotions.

Positive thinking seems to be receiving a lot of attention these days especially since the onset of COVID where a lot more people began struggling with their mental health. And one of the many ways to lead your mind towards creating positive thoughts is to intentionally focus on the things and people that you are grateful for in your life today because when you feel grateful, that feeling feeds into your thinking to generate more of such positive thoughts.
But if you have ever tried to feel this feeling of gratefulness, you would know that being grateful requires practice mainly because a human mind tends to mostly focus on the things or people that are lacking from life. our mind likes to focus on everything that has either gone wrong in our past or the things that could go wrong in the future.
