Being Afraid to Fail is Being Afraid to Succeed

"NEVER let them tell you to be realistic."

So many times do we pressure people to be realistic with their dreams, persuading them that setting unrealistic goals is actually setting yourself up for disappointment. I once believe in a concept of "expect less, less disappointments." But that has changed. 

What we are telling each other is that, it is not okay to not always reach our goals, it is not okay to fail, it is not okay to fall, it is not okay to be rejected. When the reality of it all is that the ONLY thing we do better than failing is succeeding. The only way to get to success is but by falling a few times. And if we are afraid to fall we are afraid to succeed. And if we are afraid of struggle we are afraid of wealth. You will be rejected, however, start viewing you rejections as redirection. For it is not the end of the road, you were simply granted a 'WRONG WAY' sign, and unfortunately not everyone is given that luxury. Be grateful. 

We shouldn't be teaching each other the only way to avoid disappointment is to not raise the bar. That is preaching fear, which fear is like a tumor if you don't kill it, it will continue to grow stronger and fester on everything that cross it's path. How many of you are living with tumors today? How many of you are going to continue to allow these tumors to fester on your dreams? 

Never allow fear to alter the decisions you make in life, for you will end up no where. Fear is like a circle it will have you going round and round and round, with no destination. Don't get caught up in these circles of fear. Don't let the pressure of tradition plan out your life and hand you a manual telling you step by step how to get to where THEY want you to go. Start your own manual. We are all unique and different and we should all live accordingly. You were given your own head for a reason, to think and make decisions for your being. 

NEVER let them tell you to be realistic. Realistic is a cowardly man's excuse for his complacency, and resistance to step out of his comfort zone. 

With that mindset we would have never reach heights that didn't exist until the power of perseverance, faith, will, drive, and determination wilt its very being out of our dreams and into 3 dimension.  

My new concept of life is always reach for the stars but if you end up on the clouds, praise God for that too.
