All the people err practically throughout the whole life.
I am not an exception. I made some bad decisions in my life. But, to be honest, I do not see anything wrong with that. No one is perfect. Like Tupac Shakur sang, “you got to keep your head up.” I always try to do it. No matter what’s happening in my life.
Nevertheless, today, I do not want to write about my mistakes. What I want to say is that biographies of practically all the most significant artists can show us that no one is perfect. Fyodor Dostoevski and Jim Morrison are the geniuses who came up to my mind the fastest. For more details about their errors, I suggest to read you this post.
I believe that a lot of people (not only the artists) who had reached for the sky had to fail a lot of times before they had succeeded.
I will write some examples and try to come back to them in my blog posts in the future: Nikola Tesla, Albert Einstein, Frida Kahlo, Charles Bukowski, Bruce Lee, or Steve Jobs. All these people experienced various troubles in their lives and had to strive and fight like a tiger to reach for the sky.
You have to break an egg to make an omelet – that’s the good, old story.
If you want to move further – you must remember that mistakes and defeats are natural elements connected with success. Before you get to the top of the mountain, you have to walk dangerous, long, dirty, cold, exhausting paths and trails. All primordial humans knowledge will tell you the same. What’s very interesting, all these issues do not have to stick only to people.
The worlds of religions, sciences, and art throughout the ages mix, crisscross, bind, and entwine with each other.
Historical paths of all these spheres sometimes go parallel, close together. So close that we are not able to separate them from each other. Another time, religions, sciences, and art, throughout humankind’s history,, often had to break up with each other. They could receive a head-on collision with each other. After this, their paths could get about 180 degrees. Alchemy is one of the examples of what I mean. Alchemy is proof that all three mentioned-above spheres of humans’ life can make enormous success or make spectacular failures. Like we all.
