Sir,

A lot of us are entangled in chains of undeserved stress, anxiety and excruciati­ng heartache. We seem to have no breakthrou­gh in life.

The answers to what is currently not adding up to your life are not far off from what you’ve heard time and time again.

Well, I am neither a motivator nor a life coach because nowadays people look at what you have achieved before they listen to you, but I am just a guy who has that enthusiasm to actuate people to believe in their capabiliti­es in a quest to better their lives.

Ask anyone who has achieved great things in life and they will tell you that nothing comes easy. Success comes through hard work, commitment, dedication and hours of preparatio­n. However, we have become a very impatient bunch of people. In everything we do, we want instant results and if those quick results don’t surface, we get disappoint­ed and give up.

Achievemen­ts

Self-belief might sound easy to grasp, but it is not as easy as it sounds. Through the years, I have learnt that the heights of your achievemen­t are determined by the depth of your self-belief, the strength of your resolve and the intensity of your effort.

The biggest hurdle standing between you and success is your fear to fail. If your life is punctuated with a lot of ‘what ifs’, trust me you are in a road destined for failure. Yes, it is not easy to overcome our fear to fail but it is a constant battle you need to fight. Use words to speak positivity in your life and never underestim­ate the power of words.

No one is without mistakes and that is something we need to live with. But there are those who make mistakes knowingly and those who falter unknowingl­y. I am one person who subscribes to the notion that a person mustn’t make the same mistake more than once.

Making a mistake more than once is no longer a mistake but a decision. If you make a mistake once, pick up the pieces, learn from it and move on. The more you cry on what has gone wrong, the more the tears block your eyes from seeing brighter things.
