Throughout our lives we will grow, we will become diseased, we will die, and perhaps the hardest part of it all: we will see all this happen to those we love.
Your life will continue to put obstacles and rewards in front of you. Often times, we get hung up on the hurdles. Sometimes these hurdles are extremely painful events that not only consciously affect us, but they root themselves in our deepest being.
We begin to wake up everyday and let the anxiety of the hurdle/event grip us. It becomes so strong that we don't even know it's there; but we're aware that something's wrong (a la instincts).
Sometimes, we are caged for so long that we take on and become the anxious personality. This personality is one that is so afraid of making the same mistake again, this personality is so worried of looking like a failure, this personality is out to prove itself to no ends by all means possible.
If this is you, please stop and take a deep yogic breath. Clear your mind, be as free and naive as you were as a child. Let the weight of the world off your shoulders, greatness will come as long as you keep working for it.
As I've said in the past, you've already made many changes and accomplishments in your life. What you must understand is that failure is an accomplishment. Failure is an opportunity to put the brakes on your train on progress and reassess your situation. You are given the chance to have a different perspective and learn an even better way to go about things.
Stop worrying about failure. Stop worrying about reward. Each of these things will teach you in their own ways and make you grow accordingly. So don't get hung up on having too much or too little of either. Just relax and let it all come; as a close friend of mine always says, "Que Sera, Sera".
