Everything you've been through, sat through, rose through, cried through, prayed through, everything is a set-up for your next best season. ~ RISE by Goal Coast~

The beginning sentence from a video clip I watched captured my interest to click the video and watch it. And here was the sentence; I got a Fail (F) in English
The first thing that came to my mind was my struggle with mathematics back in school.
I never hated mathematics, no, I am not one of that 70% of people that loathes mathematics or hate it with passion. The truth is I did love maths too but not like the rest of the subjects.
Solving and getting one math question correctly was a dream come through for me, that was how excited I was whenever my math solutions were correct and the final answers too. I was always elated and encouraged to try more and solve more questions, but funny enough, I still struggled through it as if something somewhere never wanted me to befriend mathematics.
The first time I got a D (strong pass) in mathematics was in high school during my finals, and in this century and where I come from, the educational system does not accept a D (strong pass) in mathematics into the tertiary institution, so I had to resit my papers, guess what happened? I was blessed with another D (strong pass) and at this point, I felt dumb, and I asked myself what happened all through those years I narrowly escaped a D and always landed in a C. Why all the delays now? Why do I have to get this pass mark now? What's so difficult in getting at least a C (credit pass) and just further my studies?

I have never felt like a failure as I did during those times I couldn't make a good cut in mathematics. I never hated mathematics, still, I just knew I wasn't so good with maths and then I became more afraid of mathematics. Every time I had to write a mathematics examination or even check my result after what, I always panicked, trembled, and feel very scared. I am always afraid that I might get a D again or worst of all fail.
My fear of mathematics got fiercer and more real especially when it was time to check my result. And although I had a little bit of assurance and hope, I was always still scared.
Mathematics is not one of my best subjects but it's definitely not my worst either. I can never loathe it cause I still feel the joy of solving maths problems and the greatest joy when I get them right.

That story was by the way and to cut it short, I will say that though I have overcome my fear to some extent now, I wish to completely get rid of it. And how my interest in the inspirational words I saw got sparked was when the lady in the picture mentioned getting an F (fail) in English which I believe happens to be the simplest for me.
Through her words, I realized that in every of our weakest and trying moments, we are only being trained for the best that is yet to come.
And like the starting statement; everything we've been through is a setup for our next best season

The difficult moment and seasons we once were in or are in are just but a pathway to our best season.
Everything that happens to us, good or bad, happens for a reason that will only make sense and be best understood when the season for our manifestations finally meets up with us.

So while we are still murmuring and groaning about our past, our hurts, and failure, we should remember that what things are yet to come will be much greater and better than our hurts, pains, and tears of our past. That our season of success will overwrite our history of failure.
We just have to keep believing in ourselves and always remain positive about our future no matter our present or current situation and circumstances surrounding us.
Stay motivated and be inspired always!
