FAILURE'S AND LOSSES



   FAILURE'S AND LOSSES



Why do we hide our L’s?


I get that it's humiliating, embarrassing, personal, shameful, it feels wrong and weird to talk about.

As if it's illegal 

Hiding L’s makes it seem as if we don't take them
As if we our the only one who has taken that L. 
Doing this only isolates us when we are going through it. 

Be aware that people are going to laugh but ONCE you have ACCEPTED IT. It shouldn't bother you. I know that when I messed up my hair cut everyone was laughing, and back then, I was embarrassed because WHOO is proud of a dead trim? but now that I've gone through it and accepted that I messed up. I honestly do not care. I'll laugh myself. Maybe because its much easier to talk about something we've gone through, rather than something we are currently going through. But its still a step closer. 

I think we should start being more open about them. When we all open and honest about our failures it makes everyone else feel more comfortable to talk about there's. If we can't talk about what we've been through then how can we talk about what we're going through. 

In reality everyone fails and has L’s.  

 Opening up about something we've accepted, doesn't make us vulnerable. 

I got beat up TWICE in secondary school. Did I lie to people about it? yes. Was I embarrassed and ashamed? yes. It took me a while but eventually I accepted it and now it doesn't bother me. 

Acceptance is probably the key and the first step here. Where the steps lead? I'm not so sure just yet... 
Hopefully I'll find out in the years to come. 

THANK YOU, I HOPE YOU ENJOYED THE READ.

Being Independent in University and life

Being Independent in University and Life Welcome back blog family.  It's your Grandad AO and The Growth Never Stops .  EVERYBODY NEEDS INDEPENDENCE , especially people going to university. University most definitely teaches people independence by throwing them in the deep-end. Forcing us students to cook and learn how to fend for ourselves. Even force ourselves to go into our most hated lectures at 9AM! But with saying that, you can easily be a university student and not be independent.  We all need to understand that IT IS ONLY US ON OUR JOURNEY'S in life. I'm not saying that we are all alone in this walk of lives or that we don't have people there for us such as friends and family. What I am saying is we are the only ones who go through exactly what we go through when we go through it. WE are the only one who decide where we go on this journey with our actions. I don't believe anyone's purpose on this earth is to be a follower, yes some peo

STOP THIS

STOP THIS!! STOP letting the length of the journey stop you from getting where you want to be. You Do not need to conqor the world in a day, take a breath. Slow down.  So many times when I think about what I want to do in life I think that's it's such a hard and long of a journey it will be.  MLK said “Faith is taking the first step, even when you don't see the whole staircase . ” so we need to have faith in order to know that we will eventually get to where we need to be ( the top of the staircase).  Once we have faith in ourselves, faith that we are more than capable of completing whatever we've set out to do.  I'm juggling a lot at the moment at university and its very easy for me to feel overwhelmed with big and little tasks from dissertations, going gym, basketball practice, cooking and the Blog, Youtube/ podcast however really and truly I am going to keep on feeling overwhelmed until I know I can do all I wish to & decide to

HOW TO BE PRODUCTIVE

HOW TO BE PRODUCTIVE Hello everyone, I'm back again. Let me quickly give you some pointers on how to be productive.  Being productive will allow you to get more tasks completed within the day.  So lets get started.  The first thing which can allow you to be more productive in the day is having more time in the day. How can you have more time in the day??? WAKE  UP EARLY Yes I said it. And I said it because it's true. However, just because it's true doesn't mean that it is easy. I've tried to do it before and successfully did for a few weeks but eventually, I fell out of it. To wake up early it means that you have to go to bed early too, and when you live with your friends at university it can be extremely hard if you are like me and struggle with self-discipline.  Waking up early is so advantageous because you don't have many things if anything to distract you. Nobody is texting your phone, nobody saying let's do this. Ad
