Learn to fly. :)

Switch on the sky and the stars glow for you.
Go see the world 'cause it's all so brand new.
Don't close your eyes because your future's ready to shine.
It's just a moment of time, before we learn how to fly.
Look all around at the mountains we haven't climbed.
It's just a moment of time, before we learn how to fly.

The above are song lyrics. And the bolded part is a particular part that struck out to me most. I suddenly remembered. Eagles learn to fly by one of the harshest ways ever. They will jump off the top of a mountain and flap their wings incessantly and desperately until they are able to fly. But, during this process, they will crash and injure themselves every time they fail. Yet they do not give up. Even with a body full of injuries, they continue to try and try until they succeed.

Then again, i realise that this could be applied to us humans as well, with the same concept. We will face obstacles. We will face challenges. We will face failures. But the important thing is to never give up and keep on trying. It is normal to fail. Failure is a part of life. But through failure, we are able to learn from our mistakes and alter ourselves to do even better. Just like how those birds kept on trying, we just have to persevere and keep doing our best. One day, we WILL succeed.

Look all around at the mountains we haven't climbed. Look at all the obstacles that we have not faced yet. Once we go through everything, be it failure or depression or stress, we will succeed soon. We will make it. We will become even harder, better, faster, stronger. So to everyone out there. If you think that right now, life isnt going too smoothly for you, fret not. Success is just reaching our doorsteps. Persevere a while longer, and trust me. It will be worthwhile. :)

Life is like a bow. Obstacles and difficulties pull you back, but it just means that you are going to be propelled further forward, into success.
If life isn't going too well for you right now, just remember. The airplane takes off against the wind, not with it.
Only in the darkness, you are able to see the stars.
Failure is simply an opportunity to begin again, this time more intelligently.

Don't give up. Because there is always light at the end of a tunnel. Hope will always be present. We just have to look deep.
