failing

Failing sounds so scary, right?

It seems that sometimes people are afraid of failure because they assume that failure shows something is wrong with you. Honestly, it doesn’t mean anything is wrong with you. It's not a disaster or something like that.

The truth is, everyone has failed. Because failing is a part of life. And life is all about taking risks. Without trying we never have a shot at succeeding.

People are not perfect. And don’t give up even you fall down. Failure always leads towards success. Because after failing once people try hard to win.

Although this is true and we all must face failure with sucess, it is very frustrating at times knowing that you are given restrictions that most others don’t face due to circumstances you have no control over. 

I strongly believe that success happens through learning. I have failed in many ways and I'm still focussed on the future. And the reason I am who I am now is because of my past failures ( and my future ones). The fact is success has no value if its opposite is not recognised.

Expecting is based on preparation. Accepting is after action. Plan well, and act on it. If success, you got experience; if fail, you still got experience. Just don’t give up.

it's okay

What a day! Two post [on the exact same day!] on that blog which is slowly dying. I'm so sorry for that. I know that I should be posting here [once a week, yup], but I don't have time or I just don't know what to write about or the weather is so nice that I prefer to be outside rather than inside.
So, the second post. What a madness.
Well...
I just want to say that it's definitely okay to feel down from time to time. Or to have a thought or feeling that not everything is 100% positive. In fact, it's something normal.

Life is fantastic, but it’s also messy and sometimes just hard. Sometimes I think that we’ve become so caught up in that cult of personality, you know what I mean - always looking good, perfect hair, charisma, being judged well by others, having it all and being successful. And our society seems to dictate that we shouldn’t feel and just “be positive”. Always. But that’s simply not realistic. Not at all. Guys, everyone has ups and downs, unless they have the perfect life. But...what does anyone learn when life has no challenges, and no emotions?

It seems to me that being sad sometimes is out of bounds, something you’re not allowed to feel or do. Because it's a weakness and weakness is not cool and a lot of people find it bloody weird, which in itself, is odd. It’s okay to be sad, it’s okay to be happy, it’s okay (well, recommended) to be a person, and if people can’t deal with it, it’s their problem.
Do not feel guilty of being sad. Realise that everyone, no matter how they try to hide and minimise it, still experiences it. 

I’m telling you that it’s okay to feel sad sometimes. So have a cry if you need to on those days when you feel sad. Then wipe your eyes, and keep going. 

Sunday

Sunday, Sunday.

Yesterday (actually by chance) I found a live stream of BGT. It was the tenth series of Britain's Got Talent! Incredible!

Britain's Got Talent live final saw 12 contestants battle it out for a chance to perform for royalty at the 2016 Royal Variety Performance.

Anyway,what I saw during that show, I mean, WOW. Absolutely stunnig!

The tenth Britain's Got Talent competition won a magician ( for the first time!).
And here you have his first audition:

But!
I was absolutely thrilled by Wayne Woodward’s stunning performance on the BGT final.
After watching BGT, I found his earlier performances and he is amazing.
If there’s one thing I love about Wayne, aside from the fact that he’s a brilliant singer, it’s his cheeky chappy personality. He’s got such an infection personality – he’s naturally funny, very charismatic, very talkative… they’re all good boxes to check as a performer.

Here you have his performance from semi-final:

making mistakes

Have you ever regretted doing or not doing something? 

You might regret it because you didn’t want to take any risks. Well, the truth is that majority people take a risk every day. Yes, some make mistakes, but who cares? Some can usually take that mistake and brush it aside or learn from it. Then others take the risk again without making mistakes the next time. 

Because everybody makes mistakes (but only the wise learn from them). Although I regret some mistakes I have made, now I perfectly know that if I didn’t make them, I wouldn’t have learned from them. Life is full of unexpected events that cannot be predicted. And there is nothing wrong with making a mistake. We are only human. 

Making mistakes is not always bad. When we make a mistake, we think all the outcomes are going to be terrible. Some time ago, I used to be that way; I regretted of every (bad) decision and every mistake I made. I just stayed sit waiting for the daunting consequences to come knowing that all they will bring until I started to look things differently. I decided take the most of everything, also of making mistakes. I realized that every mistake helped me to not repeat the same mistake. Not only my experience, but also others’ experiences agree that making mistakes is a great way to learn.

Each day life sends you chances to learn, grow and step into your best. 

So embrace failures, mistakes, screw ups because they not only make us uniquely who we are, but also teach us powerful lesson.
