I was speaking to a friend of mine the other day, whom I thought was supposed to be very excited on the phone given that she just got a big promotion. Hearing her voice, she almost sounded like somebody who was mourning the loss of a loved one.
Yes, I love her for being very ambitious and a goal-getter but I was at least looking forward to her celebrating such a big win, so I was shocked when she felt so pessimistic on the phone. Comparing herself to some of her mates who have gone more far than she is. Well, maybe she was just being modest but at least I was expecting her to celebrate such a big win.
I'm at the point where I'm so close to something I have been pursuing for a very long time and right now, Everything feels so tough and very challenging. My faith is shaken and my mind is full of doubts.
But deep down, I know I just have to keep my faith, I know I just have to push some more to achieve my goals.
I do not only have to keep moving but I have to continue to find ways to enjoy the process, because, at the end of the day, it's not going to be all about the end goal but also, not getting lost during the whole process.
This is just how our life is, an uphill journey, and a battlefield with a rewarding view at the end for those who keep on moving. We are always going to have something we are pursuing, another hill after hill, another mountain after mountain and sometimes we have the image in our head but might be filled with doubts, a voice In our head might be telling us it can't be done.
Most of our moves might seem not to be in the right direction, and sometimes we even get knocked down but in all of these we must remember not to give up, we must be strong, be reliant, and keep moving.
Here is a song called The Climb by Miley Cyrus, it captures perfectly how I feel right now and it is such a sweet and inspiring melody.
It was like the universe was speaking to me when I pumped into it by chance a few days back on Tick Tock.
With my favorite line from the song.
The struggles I'm facing
The chances I'm taking
Sometimes might knock me down, but
No, I'm not breaking.
Miley tries to tell us with Climb that life is very challenging but can be very rewarding at the same time. Life is an adventure and that is what makes it interesting. An uphill climb with rewarding views for those who continue to move, overcome their obstacles on the way, and strive to reach the end of the line.
This song kind of reminds me why I started in the first place and why I have to see things to the very end. It filled me with lots of inspiration, positivity, and reassurance that I can win if I keep on pushing.
So I don't know who needs to hear this, do your best and enjoy this ride called life. Do not focus only on the end game but open your heart and enjoy the whole process, and every progress of whatever it is you are pursuing. Because when you learn how to do that, then, you are living. If not, one is just another soul who only lives his/her life on the tomorrow that may never come because there is always going to be another mountain after mountain.
And oh, imagine someone who is climbing a mountain and all he cares about is the top of the mountain view, forgetting to enjoy all the beautiful views on his way to the top, that could amount to a great loss, right?
These are my musical thoughts today. Thank you so much for visiting my blog. Have a lovely time at your end.
