13 October an international day of failure.



Today is International Day of Failure. I'm not here to describe the wrong side of failure. Reading World Pulse has helped me understand that failure or any heartbreaking moment is not the end of life. You can learn, become strong, and do things in your life that you can't imagine. I read Jill Langhus' story, "For Tim, How Do I Live...", and it literally made me tear up. How can someone be so strong? The story is beautiful and makes me want to read it again and again.

The lines:


"Fortunately, though, my husband, Tim, is now convalescing at home and hopefully we'll be able to have at least another 28 years together..."

(Jill Langhus)

How does she find hope in such a situation? It just shows that we need a positive mind to give ourselves a chance to survive. I'm literally crying at this moment. We kill ourselves when we don't believe in good and only see the negative side. Why not hope?


Another story by Nicole Joseph-Chin, titled "Lost in Space - Oh G!!!", literally inspired me. The lines


"Having to rise to the occasion to eliminate this very situation, has offered us numerous global speaking engagements and collaborations spanning five continents to date..."

She raises her voice, using her experience to amplify the voices of women everywhere, promoting equality, inclusion, and breaking gender stereotypes. It's really inspiring. How she became a source of hope for so many people is literally amazing. We are not lost; we are people who don't give up. We tell ourselves it's not the end; it's a bend, and we can start another way. A loss is not always a breakthrough; it's a chance to embrace something new.



Another story by Ni Aye, titled "Tears of Vulnerability".

The lines:


"Although I cannot stop the suffering completely, I feel positive that I can help my vulnerable community to some extent."

How she still thinks that no loss can stop her. Her ability to cope with every situation and create positive change is inspiring. I think all these people's stories and their abilities teach us that we are not alone. We often think we are the only ones in a particular situation, but how we deal with it matters. How we deal with it, how we believe no, you are still valuable, you still live. You are not born to end up with nothing; you can, you will. A big hug to everyone who has come out, who has given support to themselves in situations when a weak person might kill themselves. A big clap to their strength​
