Jumbo achievement for me

It might not be a jumbo achievement in your eyes, but it is for me. There is a website called Gurushots, where you can post photographs you took. Then, you can take part in challenges and vote for other photos. The more votes you give, the more exposure your photos will get. That’s a short version of it.

I don’t know when I signed in, but getting as far as a rookie has taken a long time. Yesterday (June 16), I achieved that. Hard work sometimes pays off. There are some great photos of different things. Some aren’t great, so finding pictures to vote for isn’t easy. Sometimes, the best photos are chosen for exhibitions in other countries. But I think you need to win challenges to get that far. Maybe you need to be a Guru, which is the highest rank you can get. I aim only to participate in challenges and see how far it goes. Getting votes and rising up to another level is the best part of it all. I don’t need to win challenges. That’s an achievement I probably won’t get, but it doesn’t matter.

I enjoy small achievements, and this is enough jumbo for me. If you don’t, where else would you find joy in life?

Life is a challenge. To achieve something, you need to go through a long process. You can’t wait for things to happen. Achievement doesn’t come easy. It doesn’t need to be anything significant. Some people think that if you haven’t achieved anything big, you haven’t had any real success. But that doesn’t define it. If you’ve struggled through and overcome a problem, that’s an achievement. You don’t need to be wealthy, famous or popular among other people to feel you’ve succeeded in something.

My achievements might not mean anything to others, but for me, they’re everything. They are all my personal achievements. There have been times I wanted to quit, but I kept going anyway. I studied things I wanted, but there was always a doubt that it might not be the right one. I never wanted long-time studies. Two years are the longest. I couldn’t do something that took 4 years or more. Especially when I get older. It’s a shame that despite my efforts in all that studying, I have never got a job. Only one, but that was two years ago, and I was still technically unemployed. Maybe I’m just not that good after all. I don’t have any achievements when it comes to jobs. It feels like I’m being left out. If it’s a job search or posting things on social media. I just want to give them both up because it’s all in vain. Even blogging feels like a waste of time. It’s not easy to stay motivated when everybody else seems to succeed in what they do. Maybe people have forgotten that when someone posts online are supposed to be active. Like posts, maybe comment. Perhaps I’m too dull, and the things I post are uninteresting to others. It might sound pathetic, but I like my own posts on social media because then, at least, it doesn’t feel unnecessary.

It’s not easy trying to achieve something. Maybe it’s easier for some. For me, getting a driver’s license is a big deal. In a month, it’s been a year. I thought I would never get through the driving lessons and the theory. I failed it 26 years ago, but now it is easier. I wish people would have been more excited for me, but I guess it’s no big deal. I was glad to have achieved it. It’s gonna take a lot of practice to get better at it. I have only driven my dad’s car alone once, but that was only a short drive, and there wasn’t much traffic. Driving on the motorway is too scary, and I don’t like driving in traffic. It takes more than a year to learn the process of driving a car. As long as I don’t drive into something or someone, then it’s okay.

I enjoy the small achievements I get. Getting this post finished is one of them. I don’t know what else to do to get some attention to it, but I still write for myself, and that should be enough for me.
