Failing to learn, learning to fail.


No matter what we do in life it seems there's always something to learn. Even if you're not in education or further education - you'll have to learn.

You'll learn in a job, in social situations, in Church, in driving lessons, learning a musical instrument, bringing up a child, organising a wedding, moving house. Whether practical, mental, or physical we will never in our lives stop learning.

Also as we get further in our constant learning, we will come to teach others what we know - most likely unprofessionally. This is important. I find it's so easy to get caught up with what you don't know and you forget how far you've come.

It's likely that from time to time you'll meet people who think they have superiority over you, as they know more about a certain aspect of something - or they've accomplished something you're still trying to accomplish. Push it to the side and remember that you may be the one making yourself feel inferior.

Don't punish yourself and remember all you can do is keep trying. You will fail many times, and you will fail 10 times more than you ever though you could until you almost hate yourself for trying. But once you stop trying then you will have let it beat you. You will have let people beat you.

You have your whole life to accomplish tasks. Nothing will be taken away from you because you didn't accomplish things quick enough. Nothing will be taken away from you because you didn't do it first time around.

Don't forget what you have achieved, and always stay true to yourself.

TRUST yourself.

I only say all this because I know it's true and I wish my heart and the pit of my stomach would believe it too sometimes.

I miss my favourite boys.
