Happiness is a state of mind, and so is success. There was once a time in my life wherein success seemed to come in a flash, they race unabated towards me with full of honor and candor. That time was the most beautiful time of my life. Things were so easy yet despite of it all i never had the chance to savor it until it's gone. Looking back makes me want to relive the past, change nothing in it but to feel what was myself way back then.
Just recently, i saw my sister's FB shout out and caught my attention. It made me pause for awhile, and again pause for another while. My little sister is getting older, i whispered to myself. She seemed to become more explorative about life. I find nothing wrong with that, in fact, if she isn't and or won't try to experiment life, i would ask her to, because i always find experimenting life so beautiful and worth trying. Yet, despite the openness of me towards that, the personality per Se of a person, makes me feel a little worried. I am afraid my little sister will make the same wrong decision that i took.
I can't do anything about that, she is young and getting older. Old enough to be mature about life's choices and young enough to be experimental with life. This leaves me one thing, to share to her what i have been blessed of knowing, due to self-reflections and contemplations.
One day, i emailed her, messaged in FB and said; "Thinking of failures during the fight is totally different from accepting failures after the fight. The more you believed the possibility of failures the more it lessens your chance of success. Lets say, if your thinking there is a possibility of 10% you failing, it would mean you are 10% less from success which mean your success rate will only be 90%, and so on."
Success is a state of mind, so is happiness, and so is failure.
Will we be able to learn the art of the state of minds?
