What would you do if you knew you couldn't fail? What adventure would you undertake if you knew it would all work out? The answer to those questions just might lead you to what you are passionate about. Become a student of those who are already succeeding in your area of interest. Stay focused on the idea that standing still is the same as moving backwards. Always strive to move forward. The only failure is in quitting....it's giving up on the talents and abilities God has given you. When an obstacle throws you on the ground or moves you backwards...begin again, learn from what happened and then change a few things. This process is your education and will be stepping stones in moving you forward.
Whats holding you back from your dreams? Is it your family and their negativity? Is it finances? Is it the way you feel about your appearance or your abilities? These are all areas we don't really like to discuss, but if we are truly honest we will realize that we blame a lot of our shortcomings or our lack of following our dreams on either our circumstances or other people. What I find is when you ignore those obstacles you give strengths to your greatest attributes, and your weakness will become a stepping stone to your dreams. Let's ask the question again...if you knew you couldn't fail what would you do? Begin the dream on paper as if there was nothing holding you back.
Life comes and goes quickly, and there will be other people around us who will be living our dream and we will become resentful and bitter that "life passed us by". Don't let that happen to you. Pick up a pencil and begin writing, take that class you always wanted to, search for a new job, get help in the area of relationships, drop the chains that hold you back and begin doing the things you always wished you had...you are the only one holding yourself back. You can not fail when you use God's word as your manual for life. He loves you more than you can imagine, and He will be shouting for joy when He sees you using the talents He gave you for His greater glory! He did not create you ugly or with lack of talent. He did not create you to be misused or abused. He did not create you less than anyone else. You have amazing qualities...show the world what they are...sometimes you will grab at something and realize you should have passed that one by, but it is only in trial and error that your gifts will override your weakness. Your "failures" will only be "experiences" on the journey to success!
