All too Well: A speech of Inspiration
" Not a single one of us here has done it alone"
No matter how strong or independent we are, still admit the fact that we need someone's help. We can't overcome all of the chaos by ourselves. There is different kind of people who will enter to our life to help, break us or maybe to teach us some lesson in reality. The reality is we can't stand alone on all of the storms that life thrown to us.
Just like this girl who proves to everyone that she can't not only ace in music industry but she can also be an inspiration to every individuals especially to students who wants to achieve their dreams. I became a fan of her since when I was in High School. I remember that I got LSS on her song Love Story and 22. While writing this one, I listening to her song "All to Well". What I love to her songs is the story behind it. It seems that it always give you a motivation and you can relate to her. And yesterday, she also give an inspiration to many through giving her commencement speech when she receives her Honorary Doctorate in Fine Arts at New York University. I've got so many realizations after hearing her speech. It seems that there is someone who comforting and telling me to continue in striving in life. This person is not other than Taylor Swift.
"Life can be heavy, especially when you try to carry it all at once. Know what things to keep and what things to release". Even we are flexible enough or we are good at time management, there's a point in our life that we will realize that we can't hold it anymore. If you will overthink about everything in one moment, there's a high tendency that you will only get tired and demotivated. Always remember that not all the things is still worth it to keep and fight for, sometimes it's better to let go the things especially when you know that it only cause too much pain in you. Learn to how to set yourself free.
The more we try, the more stronger we become. "Never be ashamed of trying. Effortlessness is a myth". Don't be discourage if you failed twice, thrice or even nth time, what's more important is despite of the failures and disappointments you experience,still you are willing to try again. There's no harm in trying right? If you succeed on the first try, then it's good but if you failed, that's alright at least you learn something that you can use once you try again. Don't get tried in trying and in putting efforts to achieve your goals or dreams in life because you only lose when you totally quit.
"I'm trying to tell you that losing things doesn't mean losing". When we are still an innocent kid, we are opt to be afraid on losing in competition because we think that achieving the first prize is one of the most rewarding moment. Yes maybe but you know what, winning is not always about that, sometimes knowing that you did your best and you enjoy that particular competition, it's also actually winning. There is some people who still happy even they lose because for them, trying is already enough and they know how to appreciate other's success. Another thing, is when we opt to be afraid on losing friends because we think that being alone or having a few friends is lonely but look at you now, you manage to be happy even you are alone. You realize that you didn't need a lot because one is enough, sometimes yourself is enough. Losing is not always define the end, sometimes it gives you an opportunities for the great gains in the future.
"As long as we are fortunate enough to be breathing, we will breathe in,breathe through,breathe deep and breathe out". The moment we open our eyes, is a reminder that we should be grateful that God gives us another chance to live and to find our greatest purpose in Earth. We should be thankful that He allows us to be with the people who love and support us. As long as we breathe, there's still a hope for us. There's still a chances for us and there's a way to us to become successful.
