Believe in your purpose. Believe in yourself.

“Live the Life of Your Dreams. When you start living the life of your dreams, there will always be obstacles, doubters, mistakes, and setbacks along the way. But with hard work, perseverance and self-belief there is no limit to what you can achieve.” ― Roy T. Bennett, The Light in the Heart

I can just end the article here. The quote by Roy T. Bennett is powerful and motivational enough to explain this article’s title.

In case you forgot, let me remind you, we are used to having setbacks all our lives.

Do you think you learned to walk in the first attempt?

Or do you think you balanced your cycle from the get-go?

No, you didn’t. And neither did I. We are used to setbacks. That’s how we have achieved whatever little or more we have today. Through setbacks.

Don’t think of them as barriers. Take them as natural entities. Like the way, you breathe or walk.

Live for a greater purpose

We stay motivated and focused only when we have a purpose. The greater the purpose, the more driven we are.

“The purpose of life is to live it, to taste experience to the utmost, to reach out eagerly and without fear for newer and richer experience.” ― Eleanor Roosevelt

The purpose of life is not just to be happy. We can never be happy by “trying to be” happy. We find happiness in the work we do, in the experiences we have.

We find happiness when we are helpful to others. And when we are compassionate and honorable.

Happiness is an idea. A feeling. Living our lives — breathing in and out is the truth. Living is the reality.

Our actions will have consequences. Those consequences can either go for or against us. Setbacks are natural.

If we don’t taste failure regularly, chances are, we aren’t moving forward.
