Feel free to share this video especially with all those going through tough times. Hopefully, this will help and inspire them. This is not about me bragging my success, playing victim or propagating my personal miseries but genuinely trying to help those who resort to depression and suicide during tough times. Hang in there! Good things happen only to those who wait and work hard for them
While we all love to brag our successes and achievements on social media, let's take a moment to honestly share, own and embrace our biggest defeats and our most humiliating failures publicly, so that people around us truly realize that it is ok to fail and not resort to depression and suicide. In life, only those people are truly successful who are persistent, never give up and work hard consistently despite countless failures!
Losing a few times in life, does not make you a loser. In fact, losing teaches us 'how not to be a loser in life' by rising again and not losing next time. Success is not final; failure is not fatal: it is the courage to continue that counts. Success is the ability to go from one failure to another with no loss of enthusiasm. Your successes don't teach you anything; you learn and grow only after your failures. All is well that ends well and in life, with passing time, actually everything does end well eventually.
The main reason to publicly share all this is to help and inspire those who are in a similar situation as I was in these stressful past two decades. These are tough times of uncertainty, confusion and stress for everyone. Don’t lose your focus! There is always light at the end of the tunnel. We are all struggling in our lives and no one knows what the other person has to go through, so don’t worry about naysayers. Also, life is not a sprint but a marathon; just keep running without giving up.
The real battle is not external; it is all internal. You first need to overcome the inner voice that tells you to stop trying, give up and constantly reminds you: “You cannot do it!”. If you truly want to succeed in life, first have strong unshakeable faith in yourself, then expect others to believe in you. If you believe you can do it, you will eventually do it even if the whole world thinks otherwise. Success is the name of resilience, persistence and consistent hard work while staring in the eyes of adversaries and setbacks. It is never a smooth sail to success for anyone. Always remember nothing is the end of life till it really is… And then whatever does not kill you makes you stronger.
FOR OTHERS LIKE ME, we all have inspiring and encouraging stories of our journey to share. Whatever each of us went through and how we did not give up... We continued to have strong faith in ourselves and our abilities. Multiple medical students have committed or attempted suicides in the past year or so; we need to help them. We all are fighting multiple battles in our lives but no one shares them. We all have our differences, our issues, our problems but we are all more similar than what we know... Why not be more open about our failures, share them while inspiring others and winning together! Never lose hope and never give up!
