The Law of Wasted Efforts
- Half of the eggs of fish are eaten
- Half of baby bears die before puberty
- Most of the world's rain falls in oceans
- Most tree seeds are eaten by birds
- Lions succeed in only 25% of their hunting efforts
This is a law governed by nature — yet as humans, we think the lack of success in a few attempts is failure. When we face defeat, the conditions are uncomfortable; it hurts, we feel the heat and the pressure, we feel pulled back. But we need to move forward with resilience and get through life's adversities.
Keep focus on your goals. Don't quit. Keep trying again and again, keep moving, and eventually you will bounce back. The truth is, we only fail when we stop trying.
Success is not a life free of pitfalls and falls — it is to walk over our mistakes, go beyond every stage where our efforts were wasted, and look forward to the next. Efforts are never wasted, even when they lead to disappointing results, because they always make us more prepared, strong, capable and experienced.
Learn from your mistakes and keep putting in effort. You could take a pause, but don't quit — continue, and keep trying until you succeed. Stay inspired. Don't give up, keep going. Find your Purpose of Life.
