Since beginning my blog, I have always been quick to write my next post, but over the last few days I've actually been really stumped; or should I say that I've been experiencing 'writers block'?!
Just a few minutes ago, I read a quote which gave me inspiration and I have used it to title this post; 'If the wind will not soar, take to the oars'.
I'm guilty of giving something a go once and then giving up pretty quickly if it doesn't go as planned. However I've begun to realise that by giving up so easily, I'm not taking a very proactive approach to life.
I'm currently experiencing something where the wind hasn't blown in my direction, I've used the oars and now I'm looking for something else, anything else, to get what I want. (I'm aware that statement may make me feel spoilt and that I always get my own way; I don't mean for it to sound like that, and trust me, I very rarely get my own way!)
But once again, I've found myself wondering if I should give up. Surely there's only so much can you expect of yourself before you realise that you cannot do any thing else and cannot give any more.
Failure is not something that a typical human enjoys very much, I know that I certainly don't. Yet I think that we often give ourselves a hard time for not achieving what we wanted to, despite the fact that we have given it our all.
It is suggested that failure is not an option, but I think we need to understand that sometimes success isn't an option either, and that's okay.
But just for the record, I won't be giving up just yet.. Does any one have a spare outboard engine??
