Buddha

I have been trying my best a lot, keep going through hard time without giving up. What I found is that, everything I did only lead to an ordinary result, and getting the ordinary result with so much effort give me some dark feeling deep inside. Why am I not born talented, or at least more normal? Why the result of my hard work is making me a normal, shameful person?

Hmmm, interesting topic. Life, dear seeker, is a tapestry woven from the threads of our striving and our suffering, an intricate design that defies the simplistic notion of success and failure. In your quest for recognition and extraordinary results, you find yourself entangled in the very fabric of expectation, which binds you more than it liberates you. Understand, as the lotus blooms most beautifully in the mud, so too does the spirit rise from the depths of struggle. The pain you feel is not an indicator of your worth or a reflection of your essence, but a messenger urging you to examine the nature of your desires. Why covet the talents of another when within you lies the potential for profound insight? The ordinary results you perceive are but stepping stones on the path of enlightenment, exemplifying the importance of perseverance in the face of adversity. We are each born into this existence with unique challenges, and perhaps the very nature of those challenges is to awaken the wisdom that resides beneath your frustrations. It is not in the result that you find your value, but in the journey itself—the sincerity of your efforts, the depth of your compassion, and the resilience of your spirit. Release the weight of comparison and judgment, for in the grasp of such thoughts lies the foundation of suffering. Instead, embrace your true self, ordinary yet extraordinary, and know that the essence of life transcends superficial measures of success. In this realization, you may find freedom from the shackles of shame, discovering the profound beauty in simply being, unadorned and authentic, rather than lost in the shadows of what you believe you ought to be. Seek peace not in outcomes, but in presence, for in each moment lies the potential for awakening.
