We don’t encourage people to be creative. Rarely,
do we ask people to do something meaningful.
We spend far more time telling folks:
·
No- you can’t.
·
You have no experience.
·
Somebody else has already done it.
· Nobody's ever done it.
·
You don’t have the money, education or
time.
·
It won’t work.
·
You better get permission.
·
I’d talk with a lawyer first.
And
the ultimate sabotage responses:
·
You’ll fail.
·
You’ll never make it.
·
You’ll go broke and starve.
·
You won’t be able to survive.
·
You’ll die.
How often do we say- “That’s a great idea, I think
you should go for it?”
That’s
what I thought.
We shoot someone’s hope, dream and possible future
down quickly. If everyone followed our own fearful advice, there’d be no electricity,
surgeons, automobiles, medicine, clean water or technical device to read this
blog.
Somehow, I believe we can do better. We allow fear
to keep us from doing the very things we
need to do. Persuading others through our own inadequacies and lack of insight
to do nothing ensures we never
step out of our comfort zone, make progress or change the world.
Failing is a far better gift than doing nothing.
Losing is a lesson in improvement.
And winning is the opportunity to start over again!
Don’t listen to the advice of naysayer’s, family
members or best friends. Live your dreams. Seek out those who encourage your
goals. Surround yourself with positive people who transcend hope, imagination
and fuel your passion to persist with excellence.
We’ve only got
today and it’s our chance to do-
Something
Meaningful that Matters!
Until
We Meet Again,
