When The Last One 'BITES THE DUST'

When The Last One 'BITES THE DUST'

How often we were not at the top of the totem pole ?  How many times we were 'almost there but were not' ?  How frequent then success was within grasp till it slipped?  Indeed, it's nothing less than frustrating when we failed to 'bring home the bacon'.  Who wants failures anyway ?  Considering that the 'twin sister' of FAILURE is FRUSTRATION.  After investing so much time and effort that pushed up our expectations [sometimes unrealistically 'BEYOND THE ROOF'], we know how it feels to be down in the skids.  BEEN THERE, DID FAIL BEFORE [many times in truth] but again, such is life.  We were not born with that expectation that things will be a walk in the park.

Indeed, FAILING in LIFE is like a curse.  No one wants to be tainted with it but the truth is, everyone of us have endured failing and failing and failing over and over again.  What becomes crucial is if you have that intestinal fortitude to carry own, continue an agonizing journey that seems to drain and zap you under the scorching heat of the burning sun.

Surely, you know either relatives or friends who fell down seven times and they had to rise up from their bruised knees eight times.  No choice.  Hard choices in fact.  If you don't get back on your feet, everything will go down the drain, all the efforts, sacrifices and even the tons of failures you endured in the past.

Oh, this poster is verbose but I like this: "IF YOU WANT SOMETHING YOU'VE NEVER HAD, YOU HAVE TO DO SOMETHING YOU'VE NEVER DONE".  These words are just too straightforward.  In blunt terms, this tells us that you've got to have that deep-seated fervor to take that extra step that will mean extra efforts coupled with extra frustrations after frustration until you could have inched forward.  You might wanna know, what happens after you happen to grab the fruit of your hard work ?  That leads you to expand your comfort zone.  And it becomes akin to that equation 1 + 1 = 2 because that moves you forward, even if it means you only inched up literally an inch forward.

Have we know some perennial laggards?  Those who are frequently at the tail-end, those who literally are 'eating the dust' because they are the tail-enders of the life marathon ?  If this hits you hard, we hope this wakes you up that it's never late to be at the top quadrant of the marathon because when you hit the finish line, you deserve more than just the dusts from the frontrunners.❗❗❗
