The Unsexy Truth: Success Isn't About Perfect Deeds, It's About Never Stopping

Life is never worth worrying about deeds. Just doing is enough to get better.

Recently, most of my conversations with friends have been about how things aren't working. The economy is bad, and little investment seems to yield good profit. One can literally feel helpless, worrying about the future that remains concealed by time. For years, we have held onto the illusion that the future is going to be better, hoping that every new year brings us closer to that destined future. However, on the contrary, each year comes with more hardship and challenges to deal with, and we are left to wonder if the future truly has a promising outcome.

When our work no longer brings results, discouragement sets in. A few people stay down, use their deeds to judge how much they have tried in the past, and never take action again. They keep blaming everything and sometimes live to discourage people who are bent on working. However, life is never worth worrying about deeds. Everyone is working, but luck and chance happen differently. Only if we don't stop working will we succeed. All that's required in life is just doing. With every day of work, we gain better experience, and sooner or later, luck might just find us.

Sometimes the fault is not our attitude, nor the fact that we are not hardworking, but that life roars louder, so we find everything we do crumbling before our eyes. Everything may feel overwhelming, giving up may feel comfortable, blaming the system may bring satisfaction, but that wouldn't solve the underlying problem. Keep doing what you do. You'll either get better at it, or luck will find you just when you least expect. Results and success don't come from doing nothing; they come from showing up daily and taking action despite the discouragement.
