Midnight Library by Matt Haig is a story about a woman named Nora, who committed suicide after living a life full of regrets and ends up in a library where she gets to try all the lives that she could have lived from all the different choices she could have made.

This book is nothing short of amazing. Although it is branded as a fiction book, this book has taught and illustrated a key message that no other non-fiction book has for me. Everyone is capable of success.

Yes. Everyone.

Whether we achieve success is all dependent on how much effort we chose to put in as well as the choice we choose in our lives. So, how do we choose the right choice that leads us to success? I will be honest, there is no way to know whether the choice you made is the right one. We wouldn’t know how the choices we didn’t choose would have played out. Furthermore, every choice, be it the one u didn’t choose, or the one you chose will have its fair share of downsides, there are no ‘perfect’ choices in this world.

Since there are no perfect choices, does it mean we will never be successful? Nope. This might sound ridiculous and pretentious but I believe that we should be glad that we are experiencing hardship and obstacles…
