Don’t forget, you can still succeed

Good Morning or Good Afternoon or Good Evening, this post should take three minutes to five minutes to read from start to finish. What does it mean "Don’t forget, you can still succeed"? 

Don’t forget, you can start late. We don’t need to be in a hurry for getting in a relationship, we don’t need to be in a hurry for getting engaged, we don’t need to be in a hurry for getting married. 

We can achieve goals much later than we expected. I always admire the goal of getting married between 20 to 23 if I didn’t serve a full time mission and if I met the right person. I also admire about the goal of serving a full time mission when I was 19.

I was just several months away from making a decision between starting my mission papers all over again to thinking about what do I see in the future with Jacob. When I found out my mission papers didn’t get submitted back in January 2016/February 2016, I was feeling devastated. Jacob wasn’t with me in person to comfort me. 

I didn’t know what to do at first because not only did I felt devastated, I felt  very confused. I was set up for a meet up with bishop. I was scared, and I had a friend with me on my way to church. She has shared with me about her wonderful experiences for serving a full-time mission. 

I remembered about all I requested was a priesthood blessing. The home teachers came to my house one day and gave me a priesthood blessing for direction. I had a dream about the truth where I need to be in life. I couldn’t deny how I felt about that dream. 

I’ve spoken to the bishop that I’ve made my final decision and that was to continue dating Jacob, eventually one day to get married to become a wife and eventually become a Mum to have children. Little did I know; Jacob proposed to me exactly five weeks after I’ve told bishop about my decision. I’m blessed for getting married at 23. I’m also blessed for becoming a Mum. 

Don’t forget, you can start over. Everyone faces different experiences in life. Some people experience more than two different relationships to finally meet THE ONE person who they want to spend rest of their lives with. 

Some people gets second chances. Some people gets multiple chances. I felt I was getting a second chance for redoing my mission papers and regain a desire to serve a full-time mission. 

Don’t forget, you can be unsure. Sometimes we may feel unsure about our decisions if it was the right decisions to make in life. Sometimes we may feel unsure about the way we feel about how things are happening in our lives. 

Don’t forget, you can act different. We can always act like ourselves but sometimes we can act differently. The words that we can talk to an adult is different to what we can talk to a young child. 

Don’t forget, you can try and fail. I do photography. I always try to find ways to do photography differently. I often have different styles of editing. I often have different techniques of pose ideas for people to pose while I’m taking photos of them. I always try to find different words of knowing what to say to past clients whether they would be interested in any of the mini sessions that I have advertised or a new photo shoot session.

And still succeed. We all succeed eventually.
