I’ve often wondered what drives people to behave in ways that aim to mask vulnerability; we’ve created this rather unhealthy habit of focusing on what’s missing and consuming energy that solidifies our negative views of the world we live in. We’re never happy and there is always room for more, and when we come to have more, we want even more, without taking the time to really appreciate what we have.
Most of the time we think about how we can get even better, be more or have more and this race turns us into runners and hoarders. That’s not to say that growth or having more is bad. On the contrary, developing yourself as a person and striving to have a rich life is a noble pursuit but in this journey, you need to find a way to focus on the little things, a way to focus on your accomplishments rather than failures.
It’s easy to put yourself down when you’ve failed in your endeavours. However, if you’ve learned from it, then the experience is a lesson, rather than a failure. Nobody was born an expert, I say this many times, some successful people had their success through luck and almost everyone had to go through failure and rejection before achieving success. Often, we get caught up in our own frustrations so much that it becomes hard to learn what life has been trying to teach us.
Try to understand that there is no perfection and learn to accept that fact, Rather than looking back at your mistakes, try acknowledging your achievements. That will make you more conscious of your own value as a human being and it will help you see your strengths more clearly, so that you can use them to achieve more.
Learn to relish your small wins, you wouldn’t know how grateful you should be for the little things until you don’t have them anymore, Little things such as waking up today, giving your loved ones a kiss, not down with a bad illness, making even one sale a day are things you should be grateful for. Paying attention to the little things teaches you to be grateful and to accept failures with ease.
Appreciate the little things today, you will be glad you did!
