What's your motto?
I originally wrote this on my site, kartooner.com, but it applies here as well:
Life is a complicated and yet beautiful entanglement of thorns and
roses. Just when you feel comfortable suddenly a multitude of paths
open up before you and then you’re left deciding which is the right one
to follow. Which one will lead to success and which one will lead to
struggle? There is no doubt that life throws us curveballs and many
times it’s when we are least expecting it. The key to understanding
life is knowing whether you are in control of your life or if your life
is in control of you.
When curveballs are thrown at us, no matter the amount or force, the
initial reaction is one of disorder, an abrupt change in our lifestyle.
How does one maintain a sense of control or stability, or even cheer
and motivation when we feel as if we’re caught in a whirlwind of
disillusionment? There is no simple answer or solution but it’s
important to remain focused on your goals and aspirations because the
light at the end of the tunnel or the carrot dangling from a string is
the only thing that will keep you going.
You might never actually reach a comfort zone because it’s difficult
to asertain certain situations, but keeping focused on what’s truly
important in your life will not only save your sanity but keep you on
track. In the scope of things, our lives are driven by the belief in
ourselves and the support from our family and friends. A typical
obstacle that stands inbetween our goals is our fear of failing. The
fear that no matter what we attempt to obtain that we’ll lose grasp of
it or never truly receive it. Being confident in yourself will
eliminate any fear of failure because those who are confident realize
that their failures are also their strengths.
As Bill Cosby once said:
In order to succeed, your desire for success should be greater than your fear of failure.
When life throws you curveballs, take our your trusty glove and catch them midair.
