Blunders & Brilliancies in Life

Blunders & Brilliancies in Life

Blunders and brilliancies are not limited in chess.  It's more relevant in our everyday life because we, as humans, do commit blunders.  Worst, those blunders seem to happen over and over again.  But that's fine because we all have rough patches in life but we are not expected to be causing blunders in a streak till you get knocked off.  Unfortunately, this has been just too normal because surely, you have seen friends and even relatives whose track records became synonymous to blunders.  Worst of the worst, people think it's just fine? Can't figure out when was the last time you stumbled down flat on your face ?

On the other hand, the perfectionists and purists will argue that you don't even have to commit mistakes.  Just look around and learn from the mistakes of others, which BTW, can't be debated at all.  Thing is, time is just too precious and finite to end up using up big chunks of your time for back-to-back mistakes.  Learning from others would be the most pragmatic approach because when you're far away and you can see the forest, that's the time when you will have a more comprehensive and wider view of things.

BTW, we don't even need to read the tea leaves.  It's enough to figure out the storm in a teacup.  Before it becomes a brewing storm, nip things in the bud so that a mistake doesn't get compounded.  Many times in our life, we tend to go on a losing streak, those periods when the stars don't seem to be aligned.  But as inspirational gurus keep harping on, what matters most is NOT the mistake but it's HOW YOU DEAL with it.  It is the 'post' thing that matters and when you are unable to deftly handle things, things could just get out of hand and before you know it, you have a pandora's box right on your very nose.

Folks, we gotta remember we were NOT born to be 'AVERAGE'.  We are just too clouded by the noise, the expectations of our family about us.  And if there are stuff that may 'kill' us, these are our destructive beliefs.  When we MAGNIFY OUR MISFORTUNE.  When you carry on unhealthy belief of others or those unhealthy beliefs of the world like when you worked hard, you deserve a cosmic reward ?  C',mon.

So, how can you avoid a pity party ?  You gotta BE ON FIRE !  You gotta have that mental strength and it all starts with a small step .  Find that path for your time to shine.  And it's fine if you do things even not knowing how things will turn out.  Remember, thoughts influence actions.  We just need SELF-AFFIRMATIONS because you gotta get away from people who may tear you down.  I rest my case.✅✅✅
