Failure; A success booster

Sometimes, one just has to accept life as it is; it's so impossible to have life go the way one desires. There will always be some kind of obstruction to one's success and goals. I am a lover of music, I listen to songs and I sing. I enjoyed listening to songs and that was so because my father also loves listening to music. While growing up, my house was always bubbling with music every morning and that's like a morning tonic in my house. This made me develop an interest in singing, and it had been part of me since childhood, which made me join the children's choir in the church then till date.

Along the journey of Adulthood, I wanted to pursue a career as a singer. I did a studio record of a song and I told my parents about it. My dad asked for the song, and he got disappointed a bit because he thought it was gospel, but no, it was hip-hop, which is considered circular music. My parents both rejected the idea of me going into music if I were a hip-hop artist, but that was what I wanted at that time. Their refusal to choose the genre of music I wanted then made me give up on singing because my dad gave a stern warning with conditions for me if I insisted on being a hip-hop artiste, and I had no choice but to just let go. This was a decision I didn't regret though I was a bit pained that I just had to stop just like that.

If I have an opportunity, I would love to go back into music, and maybe choose a different genre now because I already lost interest in singing hip-hop as I wanted then. If I hadn't given up, then there would have been progress to the detriment of my family, which is one of the most important things in my life. I can't do anything that will tamper with the peace of my family so for this reason, I have no regret for giving up when I did.

I've always believed that failure is part of what makes a success story interesting to tell. If there were no challenges, then the success story would be a bit boring because there wouldn't be daring factors that contributed as a form of motivation or encouragement. I embrace failure and make amends when necessary not to make the same mistake twice. My family has always been my backbone since the beginning of my journey on earth. They have supported me through thick and thin, always there to back me up except for the music and that's because my father is a religious leader. I understand he doesn't want me to tarnish his image, and that's quite reasonable and enough reason for me to respect his decision as of then. During the time of my academic delay when I gave up on schooling, it was funny though, but then I would have really given up and lost hope if not for my family. Life would have been so different if I had given up, a lot of things I've achieved so far might not have been possible.

One thing I've been wanting to try on Hive Blockchain is to partake in the vibes singing competition. I've seen how excellently some individuals performed and had given them a platform to showcase their singing skills. It's something I want to try too, but I've not yet made an effort to try not because of fear. I guess I don't have what it takes yet to be on that platform. I see many going as far as booking a studio session just to make an amazing song that will be posted in the competition, and it is a beautiful thing that needs a lot more hard work. I'm not afraid to fail when I try, and the result is not as I wanted. All that will be needed at that time is more hard work and consistency but for now, there is not much time for me to spare to make a beautiful song for an entry weekly.

Experience is a great and good teacher, and one thing these two circumstances have taught me is that having a family, people you can count on, people you can call your own kind is a blessing on its own. Nothing can be compared to family love, that bond is unbreakable and that I cherish so much. It has changed my perspective about family and life as a whole; if the family is good, society will be healthy; that's the bitter truth. An unhealthy family will birth chaos in society so every positive change that will occur in a society or country as a whole must begin from the family.

Thanks for your time, and your comments will be appreciated.
