You Won, anyway!

Everyone, who can relate to the immense guilt of even having an hour of unproductivity, has struggled to where they are!

Be proud of yourself if you have lived through that midnight when you suddenly get awake to see the pen or stuff in your hand, and your head on the desk. Yes, you fell asleep without realizing it!

Lift your head high if, on one fine afternoon, you pulled back the curtains and found yourself surprised by the darkness of the view. Indeed, you were unaware of the passage of time as you became fully absorbed in your task.

Praise yourself if you have ever been through it, and cherish the outcome it gave you!

Let me reiterate; the outcome is not only confined to the success of a project or achievement of a target, nor does it hinge upon the desired result in an exam. It incorporates the experiences you have acquired throughout the journey- the knowledge and maturity you have developed.

It might sound like that 'wise' uncle next door who keeps giving philosophical life-related lectures. But No! You will realize it.

You will see that you have already won anyways!

You have handled oodles of stress. You have dealt with the frustration of circumstances not aligning in your favor. All of this has prepared you for every forthcoming rough phase. You are less likely to dive into depression now. You have witnessed the extremes.

Making more feasible plans, cultivating a mindset, and striving in a chosen direction, keeping faith in yourself is not easy and will never be. But you did it. At least once. You are acquainted with the planning, process, and execution it demands. You understand that hassle, hardships, and annoyance are a part of it.

Setting your sights on a goal, working on it, and straining every nerve, you kept going! That battle against impulses, that rigid monotonous schedule, nothing could deter you!

Observe; how you won! You are not the same person you were before you began! You could lead a phase full of sacrifices to get the life you want. You have mastered the art of battling against yourself. You have mastered the art of extracting the most from those twenty-four hours.

You have become aware that once you identify what you want, you can forget everything else to manifest and make it happen.

The success that has crossed your path is merely a byproduct. The true accomplishment is... 'You have evolved into a superior individual'.

I bet the experience is divine and worth having at least once in your life! Simply immerse yourself in the voyage towards your destination and relish every single moment of it. It will automatically shape you into a far better individual than you ever have been.
