If I Shall Fail: A Future Letter to Myself

If failing be my fate, I shall grieve but momentarily.
I will assure myself that life goes on.

I shall not shut my eyes to the truth
No matter what anguish of spirit it may cause
For I have learned to accept it
As a matter of Divine Will.

Whatever happens
However painful
I may growl the mortal's groan
But I am ready.

I will not allow myself
To sink in desolation
I have a life to live.

A single failure or a dozen of them
Shall not tear down the spirit in me.

I will rise from my failure
And follow the path that shall unfold before me.
If failure shall cause me to lose my purpose in life
I shall create a new one.

I shall ignite whatever spark of hope there is in me
Fan the flame of courage
And dream again.

I will not stagnate
Never!
Nor will I shrink into a grain of sand.
I will live!
Discipline myself to trying and trying
Work, Struggle, Persevere
Stretch my limits
Until I hear myself cry "Mercy!"

If people will mock me for my failure
I shall remain deaf to their insults
I will offer the my silence
For I owe them no word.

If people will compare me to others
I will shrug my shoulders
I know there are greater persons than I am
But there are also lesser ones.

If people will laugh at me because I fail
I shall hold no grudge.
Let them laugh!
At least I make their spirits glad.

If my friends will leave me because of my failure
I will not stop them
My heart shall bleed
I shall shed tears
But I will remain their friend.

If my enemies will be little me because I fail
I shall not care!
Greatness is not measured by success!

If the future historic drama of failure
Shall transpire before mine eyes
I shall pause in deep humility
And embrace failure
Not as a mortal's foe
But a propelling friend for betterment.

Not every opportunity is mine
Not every desire blossoms into reality.

I will not be slave to failure
Nor a prisoner of it's dooming echo.
I shall not see failure as an end
But a mere chapter of a book
I daily write.

I was born to struggle
I was born to grow
I was born to dream
I was born to suffer
Yet I was also born to live

With my faith deeply anchored
On my God
Failure shall only give my life
A new impetus
That shall move me irresistibly onwards
Until I reach the shores of satisfaction
And the heavenly gates of victory.

Failure will not define me
Failure won't kill me.

Alas! If I shall fail
These comes from the heart
These I shall tell myself.

This goes to all who have experienced failure in their lives, as well as to those who are afraid to take risks and fail.

I wrote this one night using my phone when the fear of failing crept into my soul. (am not a good writer so pacensya na)

[<SMILE>]

Just be firm and be resilient,
show the invincibility when you aspire for your
success and utmost happiness.
Surely we need courage to be able to conquer the fear
that we may stumble when obstacles arise.
