Persistence

12 Feb

It’s the easiest thing in the world: seeing ourselves as too small for a task, and shy away in hiding. I am no better than the rest of the world – like everyone else, I am human, fallible to mistakes and guilty of procrastination.

Drifting off is the mind’s natural coping mechanism against a reality sometimes too harsh to face. The trick is to accept this reality without fighting. Rather than tormenting ourselves over the ‘ought’, it would be more beneficial to look into the causes that led to whatever state of affairs we would be loathing at. Prepare for changes. It is in these moments that we are open to new forms of learning at times even handle undertakings which we would not even have dreamed about in the ‘normal’ routine.

To back off is easy. But to hold on, despite all appearances, notwithstanding all the adversities – that is where a person shows true value.
