Am I dumb? No, Just Sad

Have you ever felt that you are too dumb?

I believe that we did this thing; planning our future when we were kids. We planned what we should do at 20, what achievements we should accomplish, even when or with whom we should marry. But, when you are at 20, those slowly... disappear.  You just think about what you are going to do tomorrow.

Sometimes I think that it is my fault not to have specific goals in my life. But then I feel that I was too determined. Well, it is good to have a determined life, but then if you could not make it happen, there comes a time when you blame yourself, think that you're dumb, am I right? I believe that motivated sayings like ‘Failure is the beginning of success’ or ‘Fall 8 times, stand up 10 times’, still have a gloomy side. Sad is not wrong, it is a part of learning, part of arising. I am sure that you cannot just get up right after you fall. You must get hurt, and there is no other way than feel it, muse it. Then you will seek an assistance to raise, once you find it out, you will hold it. 

I do believe in that concept and I am seeking my assistance.

Failure doesn't make you become a fool, it makes you sad. The solution is, make use of your sadness to find your help to stand. Helps could be anything, or anyone. If you think so, then sadness is not wrong. Enjoy your sadness, feel it, think about it, and hope you find enlightenment.
