Trying my best

"I will try my best." This is the line I often tell my friends and parents when they tell me to work hard to achieve my desired results. However, previously before now and today, I think I've said that line many times only half-heartedly. Many people, not only I, say lots of lies, white and black lies, and we often, if not always, make promises which we don't keep.

Therefore, I hope to curb myself of this bad habit, by really trying my best in everything I do, and be happy regardless of the results. I know, that it is easier said than done, but truthfully, I believe it's time to change myself and really, live my life to the fullest. If I really try my absolute best at the things I do, even if I failed at the end, I'll still feel good about the results and be proud of myself for giving it my all.

Life is all about challenges. Should we decide to face all these challenges and try our absolute best in facing these challenges, can put on a smile on our face regardless of the results. If we fail, it's probably just God's way of telling that:

1. You did not try your absolute best yet
2. Whatever you're doing just isn't suited for you
3. Now's probably not the time for you to succeed in that yet
4. There's probably a blessing in disguise behind your failure

True, during the first few hours, I might most probably be very upset and throw a fit, balling my eyes out thinking why God would do this to me and how come I just can't pass like the rest of my friends. But after a while and some time calming down, you come to the realisation that life is too short to be caught up in all the failures. If you fail the first time, just keep trying until you succeed at the end. If at the end you find another thing that interests you, perhaps that's God's way of saying that that failure wasn't really that important in the first place. 

At the end, this is all probably just pep talk for myself to make myself feel better, but what's important now, is that I really have to give it my all in everything I do, so that I can smile and tell myself that regardless of the results, I have already tried my best. 

XOXO,
