Tension of opposites

Failure serves us lessons in ways success can't. It makes us better people. It shapes us up. 
Undeniable that it might be taking away our hardly built confidence, making us think it's back to square one. However, if you look at the silver lining, it's unleashing our inner resiliency, in fact, cultivating a stronger and untouchable conviction without depending to anyone but yourself. 

Experience and failure are two different teachers. When you try, you gain experience, you learn. When you fail, then you gain more experience and learn even more. Try more, fail more, keep going. Soon enough, you'll be a well-educated student of life.

Forget perfection, constant victories are boring. Failure encourages you to reflect--you'll question yourself, why did that go wrong? And from there, you'll acknowledge your shortcomings, neglecting how failing tore you down, you've become tougher and more responsible in the process.

Stop saying "Out of all people in this world, why does it have to be me?"

I always get annoyed whenever I hear those words in such situation when I should not be feeling that way. Let me give you an example. Envision a circumstance wherein there's a victim of sexual assault, of course you will sympathize with their situation. The parents are outbursting their extreme anger and pity for their child. You listened. You expressed your empathy. 

Not until one of them murmured, "Why does it have to be my child? There's a lot out there."

Normally, it is already a conformed mindset and nobody would find it wrong, to be honest. Some would even respond that obviously, that is directed to the bad people, oppressors and offenders--not for just anyone--but for those who deserve it.

I am no immaculate. However, lashing out your struggles into someone and wishing for your misfortune to be transferred to them instead doesn't sit right with me. It's never wise to seek for one's catastrophe, no matter their character, status in life and how much of a burden they've been to many.

Stop saying "Out of all people in this world, why does it have to be me?" Nobody deserves the hardship you're facing, not even you, unless He gave it to you because he has plans.
