Our actions introduce us to different things, they expose us to a lot of things we are not subject to when we’re hiding in some holes somewhere. Be it a failure or success, but when we attempt to move forward we find ourselves mingling with either one and have to deal with all the consequences that comes with

But there are no consequences to deal with when there are no actions taken
There are no lazy human beings when there’s no work to be done
There are no late comings when there are no places to go
There are no wrong answers when there are no questions asked
There are no failures when there are no attempts taken to get something done
No disappointments to be encountered when there are no expectations in place
No misconduct, no bad behaviors when there are no rules to be obeyed

There’s absolutely nothing that could go wrong when nothing has to be done, nothing has been done, nothing is being done. But what do we do, do we sit down and do nothing worried about the future we haven’t been part of yet, do we sit down and do nothing worried about the past we cannot change, what could go wrong and all the consequences that will come with it, do we let it go before we attempt to do anything worried about what might happen.

The answer is “No” because there’s also nothing to be accomplished when nothing has been done. For that reason, we move forward, we take action, we dream, chase those dreams and everything else we have to do to better ourselves. We do the least we can in a best possible way.

Martin Luther King Jnr said, “If you can’t fly then run, if you can’t run then walk, if you can’t walk then crawl, but whatever you do you have to keep moving forward”

You too need to keep moving forward, failure will always be there to challenge you, to test and distract you, but don’t be afraid because as cruel and selfless as it is, it always leaves you with experience to benefit from. Take it from those who have tried and fail, today they know how to value and appreciate every little thing they have achieved, because they know how it feels like to fail, how it’s like to lose and to have nothing

It’s going to be easy sometimes, sometimes it won’t, sometimes you will win, but some other times you’ll have to settle for a learning lesson, give it time, it will work out just fine, it always does
Don’t let it go, let it rest when you can’t find a grip over it, nor give it up, but give it a rest when you don’t have a complete control of it
You can have plan A, plan B, plan C, all up to plan Z, it’s ok, as long as quitting isn’t one of them, you’re well on a right track

Keep moving forward
