Man, y'all have no idea how troublesome it was getting this picture on here. See I took this photo on my phone a couple days back but I forgot to put it on laptop beforehand- before I needed to write this. So I was trying to transfer the image via USB but of course, the hardware wasn't working properly. So then I tried Bluetooth and it too did not work. I'm telling you that I spent close to an hour just trying to get this simple image from my phone to my laptop. So you know what I did? I went back to basics and just emailed the image to myself. In hindsight, I should've thought of that first but at least now I know I need a new USB, I learnt something. I had to just go through the process of being frustrated. I already decided that I was gonna write today, and I already decided that I would use that picture. So there was no way I wouldn't figure it out. It's never about the obstacle. It is, however, always about your focus, your endurance and your patience. If you've ever tired anything new at all you'll know what I'm talking about. If not then please allow me to break it down to you. See, when you start something new, especially if it's something you genuinely like it's gonna be frustrating. I don't care who you are or how naturally gifted your genes made you. You're gonna suck at first. And you aren't gonna always do the right thing because half the time you won't even recognize the mere fact that you do have options besides what's presented. So how can you make a good decision with no reference point? By yourself, you can't. In these cases, it's always good to ask others but a lot of us don't have someone to ask for every single new situation in our lives, do we? It is this process of getting it wrong time and time again, then creating new strategies that is gonna pay off.

I talk to a lot of older people. I'm always picking their brain. I mean, you have to, right? After all, these people have something I don't- life experience. I mean sure I've lived a little and I know a little, but these bodies of experience always know something you don't. You just have to be lucky enough to ask the right questions. Lucky? Yeah, lucky. It's surprising how much of a role luck actually plays in our life. It's amazing really. It can get really sad at the same time. How many unlucky people do we know? I ask myself that if luck is real, how can it be so cruel sometimes? But, if we want to get that deep into luck we have to start with the luckiest thing to happen to us, being born. No, I'm not a hippy. Just hear me out. Millions of sperms, only one egg, and, you won that race. Lucky no? No, being born isn't the worst thing to ever happen to you. I assure you, you're lucky. Lucky to be born. Then you had to fight off your environment from that day onwards. Between the diseases trying to kill you and the doubt trying to stunt you, you kept going. You didn't choose to get off the ride and even if you're living with scars, and living in pain, you're still going. Lucky to have that will, even at its weakest. Lucky to have these stories. Lucky to be.
