If you have never contemplated this thought before, this might be a big one for you, so please read more than once. People’s biggest fear in the world is themselves, they are afraid of what they can do and that they will let themselves down.
“Our deepest fear is not that we are inadequate. Our deepest fear is that we are powerful beyond measure…” read the entire quote here.
The reality is that we are afraid of what we can become if only leave behind many things we know that are comfortable and embrace new opportunities. It’s understandable that stepping into the unknown is a scary place to be as you can never be sure what you will encounter. For those who are hesitant to embrace change, this is even more difficult.
Additionally, many people are afraid they will let themselves down. That they can not take the disappointment of not succeeding and others and even they will view themselves as a failure. Honestly, how wants to feel as if they can’t achieve their own goals?
Ever since the beginning of time we were meant to exceed our parents and past generations. If we have come from cavemen, then think of how far we have excelled. Think of how far the world has progressed since the creation of the computer. The only true failure if giving up on yourself. Everything you do might not be successful, but learning what not to do is one step closer to the right thing.
Giving up is the opposite of progression. You are willing choosing to allow the world move ahead while you not only stand still, but watch as everything passes you. I’ve always believed that you are either moving forward or backwards, there is never a state of standing still.
Everyone has the ability to succeed simply by taking steps forward. You won’t let yourself down, you’re the only one who truly is looking out for yourself all the time. Who’s got your back more than you?
