YOU CANNOT BLAME ANYONE BUT YOURSELF FOR YOUR FAILURES

Many names must be floating in your mind when you read the headline. For some people, their childhood was a waste because of their parents; some lost their adolescenc­e because of comparison with a sibling, a parent is in pain because of a child’s deed, some have been betrayed, and the list goes on. Whenever we fail in life or have a bad experience, we blame someone else for our failure. We have a long list of reasons and people behind our failure and it’s a never-ending process.

Failure and success are just like two faces of the same coin. It is obvious we can’t fail every time like we can’t always succeed. But whom does the success belong to? You! And, your failure? Again, you! But we aren’t ready to accept that, right? We fail to realise that either it’s our fear that didn’t let us try something, or stopped us from correcting ourselves. So, you create fear for yourself. Situations can only stop you for a while to rethink that you need to change your approach.

Sounds simple, but practicall­y we all fail now and then because there is someone who continuous­ly stops us from being the best version of ourselves. And that’s again you! So, challenge yourself enough every day, break your own records, and stop limiting yourself. Each day you will see a new person in the mirror smiling back and saying thank you for showing him or her the same world with a new vision.
