I am a very lucky man. Why, you may ask, since I have the same heartbreaks, the same problems, and the same ups and downs as everyone else. People I love die, move away, and leave me.
I have worked hard to educate myself and build my own good fortune, and I didn’t always feel very fortunate at certain times in my life. As a matter of fact I have had some really low times in life, probably just like you. And yet I kept moving forward, kept looking to build my dreams, and I had the audacity to dream big dreams.
People kept telling me to be happy with what I had, which was nothing, and that didn’t excite me at all.
So I moved forward in the adventure of life even though many people told me not to, to stay where I was, that it was going to get better. I didn’t think so. Are you facing this same dilemma, with your aspirations fading from sight because people around you are helping you kill your dreams? Are you afraid to go forward and try to live your dreams, your adventures, because you might fail?
And fail you might. There is someone in the self-help business named Tony that says there is no failure. There is. I have had it, and I’ll bet you have too. How we react to that failure and move forward in life makes all of the difference. If you are afraid to fail you probably won’t live some of the adventures that you want in life, and when you get ready to die you might have regrets that you didn’t fail.
