The Taste of Failure

Prathamesh Themdeo

How does the moment when your fate is going to be decided feel like?

It feels like your heart is beating all its heart out from inside your body to come out every second. Your brain is drawing all the blood from your body to your head and takes its temperature to the highest. Nerves are strained, throat is dry, hands and feet are cold.

You know that the moment has arrived which will decide Success or Failure.

And suddenly,

Its Failure.

How does the failure feel like?

Inside your body, your brain is stuck with all that blood it had sucked and just forgets for a moment that it needs to release those nerves. Your heart though sensitive but ultimately makes you breathe. The body still can’t process it and probably has traveled an eon within that moment. You really can’t make sense of anything at the moment. Their is a hallow of certain temperature just outside your body.

Outside your body, suddenly this moment has changed the world around you. Few people are sad while few are happy.

For the universe, frankly, doesn’t matter.

For your mind, it has turned into a scary monster who wants to eliminate you. Your mind is questioning your pursuit and convincing you that this is the end of it all!

But,

How does the success feel like?

The Same.

Yes, the exactly the same.

Except,

Your mind is now thinking exactly opposite.

It has turned into the divine angel who wants to make the world a better place. Your mind is reaffirming your pursuit and convincing you that it all has just started now and the world is waiting for you!

So, my friend!

Where does Success or Failure exist?

In your Mind.
