There were so many readjustments and remodifications of my life plans, and even sometimes, a backup plan needs more than one backup. Life had taught me that no amount of preparation is ever enough, but it’s better to have a plan than no plan.
Sometimes, things would work out as planned, and other times they might not. The only thing that I always tried to do was encourage myself to never give up and to keep trying. I had also encouraged myself to take some breaks and keep retrying as long as I don’t give up.
On my lowest days, I had once shouted quietly into my pillow and even cried in my bathroom so no one would hear or see my crying. Because there are times when I would be physically exhausted, but this is still bearable. However, when I become physically and mentally exhausted, it means I am already at my limit, and it’s about passing my threshold.
What I do to encourage myself is to seek out anyone who understands what I am going through, so I can express myself and learn from their experience. There are other times when I would simply just talk to myself and remind myself why I can’t afford to fail. Bottom line is that I would just keep trying until that phase passes because the reward is far greater than whatever I am experiencing.
One thing I can say with certainty is that it’s not easy and we all know that what come easy mean nothing. So let's just keep trying and encouraging ourselves.
