Human: Rise Up, Human Up

Humans commit numerous mistakes, and shortcomings brought about by the pressure of society's academic, professional, physical, and emotional standards. It's a wonder how someone can masterfully keep up and ace life's different sets of trials.

However, more often than not, humans tend to fail in keeping up. Problems are rising, expectations are not met, small-scale issues are having focus greater than they shall have.  

This is when "resilience" comes into place. Resilience is a good thing, it means that one is able to bounce back from his mistakes and shortcomings. However, Resilience becomes a bad thing when it starts to become a thing.

Bouncing back over and over again can mean two things - either the universe is just not very friendly or the required motivation, attention, and effort are not yet set.

Another downside of not doing it right on the first time, or on banking on bouncing back, is that there is going to be less outside support. Little to no people may believe that things are going to be better this time around.  Little to no people can believe that the needed change is already in order. And the sad part of that side of the story is that nothing can be done to avoid or not have such discouraging thoughts. Blaming a customer for not believing in a product is not an option. However, one fact remains: there are mistakes, shortcomings, or failures that can never be redeemed or corrected anymore.

One option that can be done as a remedy is to stay true on the idea of bouncing back. Rise up, human up. Be that kind of human that is human enough to embrace the consequences brought about by the wrongdoings and shortcomings while also doing what is right to correct what needs to be corrected. Making things right is more about redeeming one's self from past mistakes and failures rather than trying to win back the lost outside support. 

Your second wind can finally be the win you need to turn the tables.
