advent released: Ever Feel Like a Failure?

Have you ever been hit by reality? By this, I mean that you?ve been living in a fairy tale-like world. You thought that nothing could have gone wrong. Perhaps you even imagined that everything was perfect in your life. Unicorns existed and everything else ended in a happily ever after.

Then one day, you received a nasty taste of reality. You are dawned by what?s happening in life, and you suddenly get pulled into this rut. It feels as if you need to rethink everything.

I felt like this not too long ago. It felt as if I was a complete failure, heading in the wrong direction. Fortunately when I see myself in this kind of situation, it doesn?t take long for me to figure out what I?m doing wrong.

Do you feel as if your life is going nowhere?

When you feel this way, you tend to become more aware of yourself. When you are hit by this kind of reality, realization comes into play.

You may suddenly stop with a sense of disappointment of what you lack.

You may even feel the urge to make changes. This is all nothing more than you getting a wake up call from reality.

The first thing that you need to do is to ask yourself if what you?re doing is important. If it isn?t, step up and say, ?Enough is enough? and take actions. You know what priorities you have, and you need to act on it. Otherwise, you will go nowhere.

For too long, I?ve been self-conceited and boastful. Being an egotistic helped me in some ways, but I was becoming a narcissist. I would not allow anyone to give me his or her opinions. As a result, I thought that my whole made up world was the best thing to exist. And that is why when reality hits, I am disappointed.

I have gotten much better now, being more open-minded. I?ve stopped thinking about how I am all that, because the truth is, I?m not at all.

Maybe you are disappointed at things that you can?t change. Try taking others? opinions as a chance, to see what you can do.

Perhaps by realizing that you did the best that you could have done, it will minimize any disappointment that you carry. Acknowledge to yourself that you?re doing the best that you can.

At one point, having fame and fortune was my goal. As I grow up, I began to realize that only a minority of people would actually be able to attain this kind of thing.

I had to appreciate what I had, or I was going to be living a miserable life for a long time. I had also found that having high expectations would get me nowhere.

Why Some People Do What They Do

Look at bodybuilders. Many people would not find their size appealing at all. You may even be disgusted at them, who knows. Yet, why do they continue to get bigger every year?

What about Steve Jobs? People at one point preferred Windows to Macs. What if he simply stopped believing in Apple because he couldn?t take the heat?

It all starts by looking at the big picture, and doing what you believe in doing.

Sometimes it may be best to rethink part of your life. But for the most part, it?s usually about doing what you love doing, and actually doing it. Even if people say that you aren?t capable of it, you still need to go out and prove them wrong.

As long as you wake up each morning, looking forward to your goals, you are heading in the right direction. If it doesn?t feel this way, set a time (preferably as soon as this article is over) and sit down.

Think to yourself ?what do I want to do??? At one point, your inner childhood used to dream of becoming a rock star, a scientist, or even an astronaut. Are you keeping those childhood dream alive?

When there is an end goal that you can agree on, don?t start it off right away. Instead, chop it up into small, mini goals?like when you?re eating your steak. Otherwise, you will not be able to take it all in.

You may feel like crap. But everyone feels like this at one point. It feels as if you?re phased out with the rest of the world. From my experience, it?s not that the world is fazing you out; it?s that you don?t believe in yourself enough.

Remember that before any success and a ?happily ever after? occurs, there must be a sense of self-belief to keep you moving forward.

The truth is, you and I are human. The occasional feeling of doubts and failures are certain to happen when we face an undiscovered territory.

It is something that is embedded in the human instinct. Don?t worry about whether you?ll make it through or not, but worry more about whether you?re going to take the steps to uncover the area, and how you plan on doing that.
