This belief of ours was once strong enough,
even stronger than the reality, our fantasy was tough,
no matter what the elders said,
we only trusted what we had in our head,
we believed we could do anything, our childhood had no fear, it had no dread.

But here we are all, running in the same race,
we still believe we are special, & you know what, that's what was our mistake !!

We believe that we are special,
and we ignore the world,
we forget to compete and wrestle,
and don’t make any effort.

We don’t realise we might be unique, but so is everyone else,
when we had to stand united,
we stand with conceit, ego of the self.

Yes we are all special, there is no doubt in that,
but to prove it to the world, we need to attempt.

But we do nothing,
we are all filled with proud,
feeling extraordinary in childhood,
but later filled with doubt.

Because we did nothing to prove our worth,
we turned into that rabbit
in between a race who slept on the berth.

The rabbit believed he was unique,
and didn’t make any effort,
the tortoise staggered as he was ordinary
and that’s what made him special !!

So in the end I would just say,
you might be exceptional but you need to make your way,
the world doesn't know what you know in your heart,
prove this to them by stepping out of your zone of comfort.

DESCRIPTION

Have you ever wondered why your life turned upside down when you became a teenager and then everything fell apart when you finally became an adult. It all seemed so easy when we were kids. We had no responsibilities, no expectations to fulfill, we always received whatever we wanted and if at times, we didn't receive something, we always had a hope that when we will grow older, we will get whatever we want one way or the other.

But slowly and gradually the time span of good days decreases and bad days increases. We try our best to catch all the falling pieces but they keep on falling apart.

Don't worry. Today you will know WHY !!

Why didn't you grew up to be the most popular person on earth?

Why didn't you become as rich as you believed you would become?

Why didn't God support you when you fell?

Where did that feeling fade away which use to tell that YOU ARE SPECIAL?

Why weren't you able to do something amazing, unique, surprising and successful?

AND HOW CAN YOU STILL CHANGE IT ALL TO WHAT YOU ALWAYS BELIEVED !!!

1. By knowing that you are NOT special.

Now this headline breaks the flow of whatever I was saying, but let's just face it. When we were immature, we believed it from the depths of our heart, that we are someone special, that we were born to do something extraordinary. It is important to be positive and trust ourselves but what we instead do by believing this is that we stop putting efforts. We are over-confident of the fact that good will come to us because we are special, that we would surely be successful because we are special, that obviously everyone would adore us, because we are special and that is what gives birth to the main obstacle. We stop doing anything to BECOME SPECIAL, because we become sure that WE ALREADY ARE.

2. We ignore other special people around us.

We forget that we are not the only ones who are unique and extraordinary. In fact, we believe that we are ABOVE everyone else. We believe that others don't hold that much importance, as much as we do. Whereas the reality is, that everybody else thinks the same thing. They all believe that they are special. This ignorance not just fires up our overconfidence but also separates us from others. The power of unity breaks due to this reason and as an individual we grow weaker. Every time we fall, there is no one to uplift us, because we never believed someone was so worthy to be around us when we feel weak which brings forward our next point.

3. Every time we make an effort, we make it while remaining lonely.

We start putting efforts when we REALIZE that things are not actually happening the way we wanted it. We make up leeway and stay lost in our own struggles and all along, we stay all alone. Because we do not believe anyone else other than us is special, we do not support others and due to the same reason the others do not support us as well. That is why even if we gather some courage and step out to do something extraordinary, others oppose us instead of supporting us. Only if we all understood that we are all special in our own way, we would all work as a team with faith in each other increasing our chances of success to a great extend.

4. Be the tortoise, not the rabbit.

The rabbit believed that he will win no matter what. He believed he was special. Believing in yourself isn't wrong but NOT BELIEVING IN OTHERS is. The same happens with us. Even if we are good at something, we don't make an effort because of this overconfidence.

The tortoise too believed he was special. Why would he enter the race with a rabbit otherwise. But he made an effort. That is how he won. So the simple moral here is to understand that yes we are special, but we need to make others believe the same, and we can make others believe that we are special by proving it to them. Not by just being proud about the uniqueness you own.

5. It isn't over yet !

When this faith on ourselves starts to break, when we start to feel that God is not helping us, when we don't understand why nothing is working out, when we feel all alone in this world, we still never lose hope that we are someone special. Somewhere in our heart, we always trust it, no matter how much wrong we are proven. That is the reason you can begin again anytime and anywhere. All you have to do is change this belief of yours from I am special to I have to BECOME someone special.
