Falling short on our ideals (but still trying)

Yours truly has many ideals. But I also fall short on them. Anyhow, I try my best to do what I can.

When we fail to pursue our ideals, are we at the wrong?

Here at the house, much as I wanted to keep the place clean and organized, I have so many other things to do instead of doing house chores. I simply do the essential works and leave the rest to chance, if I ever have the time to do them.

The same with words, I noticed that I am not anymore very particular with definitions. I used to be very meticulous but now, no more. So when I write, I just write and hit publish. I am no longer the type who would look long into the monitor and worry about how others will react. Though I am bolder now, there are also downsides to quickly hitting publish button without proofreading.

An instance would be unfinished sentences. You put '...' to the sentence. It is because you forgot the proper word to use or you can't find yourself with a good way of putting or finishing the sentence. You thought of going back but then you totally forgot about it.

But then, when I don't publish immediately after pouring my heart and thoughts, I may just delete everything at a latter time. But then, this is not an excuse so I will always try my best to proofread what I write.

I make a shift from my current age to the past and when I do, there is a significant change on how I compose my article. I am with the present so I am kind of beaten to another shape. When I focus and go back to my ideals, I write better. But then, I like the present me so I will just try my best to be in terms with whatever I have now.

Let me share to you now my answer to the question I asked above.

When we fail to pursue our ideals, it is not that we are wrong. There is no problem with failing to attain ideals. What becomes wrong is if we continue to condemn ourselves and that we don't find ways to remedy our situation.

Ideals are not bad. Because they could be used as our ultimate guide in our lives. But equally important is believing in ourselves, believing that we can breakthrough.

If we can't attain our ideals, what then can we do?

We may pose possible ways on how to come as close as possible to those and we must do things realistically. When we don't do it realistically, we might break our souls and other aspects of our lives.

When we draw lines with our bare hands, most probably, we don't get it perfectly. We have the tendency to shake or lose focus and not have the perfect straight line that we want.

So what we do is we use rulers or straight edges to be able to create straight lines.

The same with ideals, we may use our creativities to attain them but we should also not become reprehensive when we fail at times. The key is to always try.

Breakthroughs are not attained with a single blow. That rarely happen. When a woman gives birth, she needs all support she can get before being able to deliver the child. Before we are able to graduate our bachelor degrees, we need around 4 years to study. Finally, if we really wanted to pursue our ideals, then we have to do something and we should keep trying to be able to succeed.

Think of those times when you are to give entertainment during programs, at school or at the workplace during special occasions. If you wish to present a dance, you must first practice in order to perfect the dance. When you decide to sing a song, you also have to practice if you wish to have a better or best performance. And unless you are to compete, it is okay to make mistakes. Just make sure you tried and really did your best. Excuses are lame sometimes.

It may be difficult but may also be attainable.

But then guys, the above are only my opinion based on my understanding of things. If you have something to correct or modify, feel free to comment below.

And of course, thanks so much for reading intently.

Keep the faith, everyone!
