For years I saw myself as a failure, some have called me weak and stupid person who can't excel in anything, one who can't take up a challenge and succeed. Naturally, I stepped out of their way and chose my own quiet path to avoid criticism and shame. I chose a course (Criminology) through my Dad's guidance and pursued it immediately after high school.
Upon graduation, am counting as having worked with the best employer in the country and this was a great stepping stone to my career path. The same year, I am glad and proud to be a part of a team in a reputable company and one of the best in the city. Having worked for a year, I keep soldiering on.
However sad my past looks, however painful, it doesn't matter because I am no longer there. Back then I would have opted for a year of solitude just to get away from people and things that hurt me.
My experience might just be like a drop of water in an ocean. I know there are millions who passed through worst times and made it through. Still, there are those who feel like they wont make it as they have tried severally without success. They probably feel there's no way out for them.
Despite what you are going through, I have just 1 word for you. This is not the end, It is just a beginning. A time to spot your potential and use it to the maximum, it's a time to face whatever comes your way with courage and a time to keep going despite the mistakes and confusion.
How did I do it? I simply chose a quiet path and trusted it. All through my Mum kept praying and my Dad kept telling me that there's nothing you can't do, son.
