TRUST THE PROCESS
if you quit on the process, you are quitting on the result
Hey, everyone. I wrote my first blog post about a month ago. It was not competitive as I expected so I quit writing. Then I saw an amazing video on Instagram where the person said I don’t know why people always look for perfection. Even the things in our life aren’t perfect so it’s okay to be whoever you are. If you start painting, it doesn’t mean it will be mined blowing at first time. Go with your pace. These lines hit me hard and I decided to write blog posts again even if it’s not good at least they make me feel better and that is important to me so today I came up with the relevant topic: be yourself or what else you can name it like nothing is perfect, progress requires time or practice is the key.
Today’s generation wants the result earlier than the hard work and every teenager faces these problems, leading to anxiety, depression, and suicidal attempts so I want to convey my message to my fellow mates regarding this issue. Life is a struggle. Every single step in life requires hard work and sacrifices. Life is never going to be easy and we have to get used to it. Mostly student faces these problems like failures. They work hard and do their best but somehow they couldn’t make it. it is the time when God tests our patience. At this hard time, turn to your God and ask him for help and guidance, put your trust in him, and again start it until you achieve it. It’s easy to write but hard to do but believe me once you believe and start again with more courage you will definitely make it. You must have seen a little ant who tries again and again if you change her path, she never gives up and tries again and again however we are human with senses and intelligence how can we give up so easily?
Another piece of advice from my side is not to look for perfection I mentioned one video that changed my perspective and I started writing again. Same as by reading my article, maybe you change. Believe in yourself and trust the process like a great philosopher said:
“Practice the philosophy of continuous improvement. Get a little bit better every single day”
I want to share my personal story. I was a topper in my school and college but at the time of university admission tests, I couldn’t make it. Every single friend of mine got into a famous university except me. It hurts me very much. I wasted two months to accept myself as a failure and move forward and during this time I missed other universities’ admissions just because of one failure. It wasted my time and I don’t want someone to repeat the same mistake and let go of other opportunities. Now I am left with one option and to get admission to my favorite university, I have to waste one year which I couldn’t afford so anyone who is reading this post. Be mature and accept it as soon as possible. If you can try that thing again go for it. In the meantime don’t let go of other opportunities just because of one. It will be hard to move on but trust me it will be worth it.
Finally, I want to finish my article with motivation, prayers, and beautiful quotes. May God bless you and help you to get through it. Process is the key. Tighten your belt. Make a goal and stick to it. You will not need anything else. In this meantime, you will lose many things and gain some sad experiences but always remember your goals and don’t listen to someone else.

Unveiling Inner Strength
As a child, I was timid, uncertain of my abilities, and constantly overshadowed by the achievements of others. It seemed like everyone around me effortlessly shone bright while I struggled to find my own light. Doubt gnawed at my confidence, leaving me feeling inadequate and insignificant. But life has a curious way of leading us down unexpected paths, often pushing us beyond our comfort zones. My journey of self-discovery began when I decided to embrace challenges rather than shy away from them. With each obstacle I faced, I unearthed dormant reservoirs of resilience buried deep within me. It was during my high school years that I truly started to recognize the power of perseverance. I threw myself into extracurricular activities, determined to prove to myself that I was capable of achieving greatness. Whether it was participating in debates, joining the track team, or volunteering for community projects, I refused to let fear dictate my actions. With each small victory, my confidence blossomed like a flower in spring. I realized that the only limitations holding me back were the ones I imposed upon myself. I learned to silence the inner critic that whispered words of doubt and instead listened to the voice within that urged me to keep pushing forward. College brought its own set of challenges, but armed with newfound determination, I faced them head-on. I delved into subjects that both intrigued and intimidated me, refusing to be intimidated by the steep learning curves. Failure became not a setback, but rather a stepping stone on the path to success. Through the ups and downs of life, I discovered that true strength lies not in the absence of fear, but in the courage to confront it. It's about embracing vulnerability, acknowledging weaknesses, and transforming them into sources of power. I learned to celebrate my victories, no matter how small, and to view setbacks as opportunities for growth. Today, as I look back on my journey, I am filled with gratitude for the challenges that once seemed insurmountable. They were the catalysts that propelled me towards self-discovery and allowed me to tap into the boundless potential that resides within me. With each passing day, I continue to explore the depths of my inner strength, knowing that the greatest adventure lies not in the world around me, but within myself. As life unfolded its chapters, each page revealed new challenges and opportunities for growth. Fresh out of college, I embarked on a career path that demanded resilience and adaptability in equal measure. The corporate world was a battleground where success was reserved for the bold and the tenacious. In my professional journey, I encountered setbacks that tested the limits of my resolve. Rejections, setbacks, and moments of self-doubt threatened to derail my aspirations. Yet, with every setback came a valuable lesson, teaching me to pick myself up and forge ahead with renewed determination. One particularly daunting project stands out in my memory—a high-stakes presentation that could potentially shape the trajectory of my career. As the deadline loomed closer, I felt the weight of expectations bearing down on me. Doubt crept in, whispering tauntingly in my ear, but I refused to succumb to its insidious grasp. Drawing upon the reservoirs of strength cultivated through years of self-discovery, I poured myself into preparation. I sought guidance from mentors, honed my presentation skills, and meticulously crafted a strategy to ace the presentation. When the day arrived, I stood before the audience, nerves taut with anticipation, but a steely resolve burning within. As I delivered my pitch with conviction and passion, I felt a surge of empowerment coursing through me. Each word spoken was a testament to the journey of self-discovery that had brought me to this moment. And when the applause rang out at the conclusion of my presentation, I knew that I had not only conquered my fears but had also unveiled a new layer of my inner strength. That pivotal moment marked a turning point in my career, propelling me towards new heights of success and fulfillment. But more importantly, it reaffirmed the invaluable lesson that true strength lies not in the absence of fear, but in the courage to confront it head-on. And armed with this newfound realization, I continue to navigate life's challenges with unwavering confidence, knowing that within me lies an infinite reservoir of untapped potential waiting to be unleashed.

The Dangling Bead
My life is splashing before my eyes, as I precariously suspend and prepare for the end, the consumption of my Self and identity. I know that gravity will be the victor in this struggle. Like a pendant, slipping from the chain, the tension has caught me in this moment, bestowing one last gift of reflection. I cling desperately, questioning my purpose. Searching for comfort. And I remember…
