We've all probably ran away from something that we feel is challenging and cannot be handled at least once in our lives, and if you haven't, we'll you're a pretty amazing person.

Many a times when I encounter responsibilities, challenges, or things that defy what I define as the 'status quo', I would always have a feeling that it will most probably be a pretty good and safe idea to run away from all these 'extra burdens'. I would be too afraid to challenge my limits and push myself to do greater things, thinking that I am incapable of improving myself any further from where I already was. I would always doubt myself, and because of my inability to have faith in myself, I lose a lot of opportunities that come my way.

Sometimes I feel that when we're bad at something, it's not because we're just not talented in that area, but because we have so little faith in ourselves that we don't even bother to try to push ourselves to reach greater heights, to do greater things. We ourselves may be the greatest cause of our own failure, and the saddest part is - we will never realise it until it's too late.

Honestly, I really admire the people who always have that inner strength to push themselves even through the toughest times in their lives, to run even when they're injured and in pain because their team is counting on them, or to support their members to continue to be strong even when they are exhausted both physically and mentally. I feel like I have a lot of things to learn from these people, to learn how they push themselves, and to hopefully be like, or even just a small fraction of them, one day.

Nobody's perfect, but the greatest ones are those who are passionate about not giving up.
