I have not always been a person to stay confident, be the best from the beginning and other qualities that can always lead to an undoubted amazing first impression but, I make sure that my last stance is the best, inevitable and worthy of the efforts put in throughout.
As life keeps happening, I steal few moments to learn what it preaches, which is uncertainty, and after a while I started enjoying the challenges life threw at me, and so it was no longer something impossible because I already have the lemons life sent, now if I have to do something with them, I’d rather make something worthy of my efforts and my time.
A single incident taught me so much about all of this, I always had the phobia from deep waters, even moderate depths scared me. Once, I had an incident where I almost drowned and the helplessness then ignited the need for me to fight my fears.
The next chance I got, I started from the shallow pools. I had water running in my nose, blocking my ears, I struggled every single day for months. There were times when I could swim but couldn’t breathe, and when I couldn’t float and sank no matter what. The only thing that kept me going was I was better than what I was yesterday and the confidence that one day I want myself swimming not only for survival but to pleasure.
I think it’s an individual’s mindset and also, the ability to change it as and when required that launches him/her into the category of successful individuals.
