STEPPING STONE... NOT FAILURE !

Everybody like/love to acknowledge the presence of the most exciting gifts - happiness, peace, joy, love, fun, family, friends ; life has stored for us and intentionally take every step to have them as part of our integral life ; As we go with notion – SEEK THE BEST!!  The moment we have them we say - SUCCESS , Yayy !! :)

Well, The path is not always a bed of roses, because it’s "LIFE" – Traitor / Teacher / Guardian; depends on the way we look and perceive things. 

More often than not we get nervous / panic / irked when we encounter the unseen terrain and consider it as the worst thing ever happened than appreciating it. The travel time on the new terrain looks tough, boring, appalling, unexciting and pale yet it is also needed because every side of the coin has something to give/take . We try to brush this terrain aside as it's not a cake walk and develop negativity towards it.

The unseen terrain - "FAILURE", we say often , it's a STEPPING STONE - I say. Amusing?!

Below prose is a way to convey the prominent presence of unseen terrain in the journey of our life.

You had peace
You had love 

You were contended
You were happy

Everyone envied you
Everything was good

Till I walked into your JOURNEY

I made you feel  terrible
I made you feel different

I took away your peace
I took away your happiness

I gave you pain
I gave you anger

I taught you - right / wrong
I taught you - true / false

My presence made you indestructible
My presence made you unbreakable

You have hate towards me , call me - FAILURE
I say , STEPPING STONE not FAILURE
