One mother came to me and said that her daughter does not try for the things for which she feels she will not win. She will not try playing football as she feels she cannot win. She will not play Ludo because she cannot win. She will play the game only when she knows she will be the winner. She always wants to win and if she loses, she cries. Another case happened, where one girl said that how can you take risks. You cannot! What if things go wrong? Its not about these two people we meet many people who have such thoughts. In today’s society there is so much stress on winning that no one wants to lose. Everyone stresses on destination but very few stress on on the journey. Everything has to make you winner but very few stress on true winning spirit. It cannot happen that you do not make mistakes if you are not trying. Kids are given targets but they are not told that they are supposed to travel a journey to reach there. Journey in which they would fall and journey in which they would have to clear their way. A journey in which they have to make bridges for themselves and pave their own paths. While travelling a journey, if you keep travelling, if you keep walking, there can never be a failure. Failure happens when you stop trying. When a child starts walking, he falls many times but if he would stop trying and becomes scared of falling, he would never be able to walk in life. Same way, in life, whenever we are learning something, if we are scared of falling we can never learn to walk that journey. So we need to let go off the desire to win and be successful. We all envision that but an attachment to same, will never make us try. More over, failure happens when we dont try, not that when we fail. We cannot be 100% successful in everything we do. If we have desired that, it means we can never try something new which our heart desires. If you are not trying something new, how can you be a leader then you would always be a follower. Because to make sure you always win, you would keep following what others have done and become successful, so that you can reach to same point. But while trying that, we forget to look at their own journey through failures and falling flat on face. So get up and start walking and where you will reach, dont bother. When you keep walking you are surely going to travel a journey.
