Do not sorry for no glory

When you did what you can to reach your goal and still nothing changed it is not a reason to give up or lose motivation. Only thing you have to do is to change point of view and go forward. 

Try to realize that you did more than you would expect before it all started. You are better person now and this will stay with you forever. Instead of giving up try to bite it from the other side. Create new plan, new mission and give yourself to it again with full passion and love. Again sacrifice hundred nights to build it from scratch.

You should do it all different than before just for one reason: 

Never let yourself to get caught up in a schema that will make you a slave of hope for the rest of your life. 

In next 20 years you might try the same thing every day but the truth is you will end up with nothing more than frustration. Try to release your thinking, free your mind to create new things. Schemas are for limited people and you know what, every profesional person is limited somehow if he or she is not able to change anything, to improve or create new.

So everytime you blame yourself for not getting to the top or not being the best, remember that you already crossed the line of your abilities, by doing differently what others do the same. You don't have to do like everybody else just to look like they looked when they made it.

Stick to your freedom, not to your limited skills or possibilities. Learn more and do more but don't be blind for what you already achieved. That is the essence of life progress and everyday happiness...
