My own personal epiphany

Abstract

This time of year is pretty much a moment for reflection. Knowing that the calendar year is about to see its end and the fact that it is the holiday season makes it a good moment to think back on the past twelve months. Like every other person, I would balance out a number of achievements feel I have attained and am proud of with some disappointments that occurred on the way. Unfortunately, with the plusses we always get some minuses and the worst of all is when you let people close to you down. But I have always believed that life is all about resilience and about recuperating from the mishaps you are faced with or find yourself in. I am of the belief that the greatest skill a person can have is that of standing up again after a let-down, a disillusionment or a disenchantment. Now this is not always an easy thing to do, rather quite the opposite. It is such a difficult and complicated chore at times to sit up straight after you have endured or caused pain. But I suppose that is life because living is about 'new starts' and 'new beginnings'. Every time we fall, we need to jump start, and every time we rise it's guaranteed that we grow and once we develop, we realise the mistakes done. The same process of realisation that you have erred is a life lesson and a learning curve.
