Courage

Your best shot

Your best shot

  • The idea of becoming a sage isn’t realistic because no one can always do the right thing for a complete 24/7 working on a specific pattern and a schedule. But, there’s a lot to gain to keep trying to be a philosopher. Living an Instagram or social media life is unrealistic , and it’s much better to conduct our lives in the most humble way possible.

  • Imperfection is what makes us human, and it’s beautiful. But, fortunately, or unfortunately, nobody is perfect, and we’ll never be able to reach that point of perfection we are all aiming for. So we need to focus only on becoming as good as possible and prove to ourselves that we can change for the better.

  • We need to give our best shot and go 100% all-in and not give up on the first try. We need to fail better and keep on trying again and again. We have to analyze our areas of improvement and think of new strategies and angles to make ourselves better. If you don’t know where to start, then ask others for advice, but don’t let your self-doubt interfere with your performance.

But that’s just my take. Comment and share yours.
