What would your life be like if you kept doing everything the
same way? If you stood still for the next 10 or 20 years and
didn't make progress with anything? If you stayed stuck in the
same situations that you're in now?
If you stayed at the same job, with the same pay, lived at the
same apartment? What if nothing changed but the years? You
still would have goals and dreams but what if you never took
action on any of them?
How long are you going to go through the same story lines like
the soap operas do? Just changing the names and faces as time
rolls on. Is it going to take one, two or even ten years for you
to figure it out? What is it going to take for you to realize
that you are just replaying the same events over and over again?
You say you want to make a change in your life but you are afraid
to take that first step. If you don't move you won't get
anywhere. You'll be stuck in the same situations and will repeat
them over and over again. You can't let your fear keep you
frozen. If you do you'll only have a life full of regrets and
what ifs.
Are you willing to forget your dreams and repeat the same
scenarios for the rest of your life? Only to say that you lived
a safe life. And what's the point of life if you don't take
risks every now and then?
Is it worth it for you to go after your dreams? What's the worst
that can happen? Sure there's that possibility of failure. But
you can't succeed at anything in life if you don't at least give
it a try.
Fear of failure can be paralyzing. You need to break yourself
free from the grip of fear. The only thing worse than failure is
not trying at all. You know you have the potential within you so
take the chance of a lifetime and go for it. Reach for your
dreams. You just might go further than you expected.
Failure is not a bad word, it's just another experience that you
have the opportunity to learn and grow from. So don't be afraid
of it. Besides if you do fail you might find a way to reach you
dreams that you wouldn't have thought of before. So if you don't
try and give yourself a chance to succeed or fail you're holding
out on many of life's possibilities.
Stay focused on your dream and make it happen. Isn't it worth
it?
