30's reading #3 (Grief and Failure)

It's about grief and failure.

Grief defined as a negative emotion arises when we are forced to let go something really close in our life, whether it is someone we really love, business venture, or simply our pet, shortly, something or someone deemed to be important in our life. Yes, it is related to failure, something we lost, it is something we cannot reach at some point in life when at the time we're supposed to be there.

Ever felt one? For sure I have, we're all human anyway. It was hurtful, it put us down, it was blurry and I was losing my direction.

Well, see it this way, Thomas Alpha Ed found those things through hundreds of failure, Abe Lincoln went through dozens of failure before he made himself one of the best president in history, and one more, Alex Fleming found penicillin through failures that dozens people before also had.

Human are made to be resilient, and creative. We're not supposed to stuck in our grievance, just reflect, think creatively, and move on. Easier said than done, I know.

The next question, should we put ourselves in failure's shoe? The answer is no, we should strive for excellence in our things, in our strength, to reach out our mission. The problem is, let me warn you now, failures and grievance are layed ahead. It's always in our way, and don't let ourselves be those stones, we're supposed to be the one who get rid of it and move on! Think creatively to check the sidelines!
