Have you ever found yourself holding back from pursuing your dreams because of the fear of failure? I know I have. But what if I told you that waiting for a guarantee of success might actually be holding you back from achieving your goals?
Think about it this way: imagine you have a brilliant idea for a video or a book. You can envision it going viral or becoming a bestseller, but the fear of it not meeting those expectations stops you from even starting. Sound familiar?
I recently had a moment of clarity while watching highlights from the Super Bowl. It got me thinking about all the athletes who dedicate their lives to their sport, yet only a handful ever get to lift that coveted trophy. Despite the uncertainty of success, they continue to push forward, giving it their all.
So why do we place such high expectations on ourselves from the get-go? What if, instead of aiming for viral fame or bestseller status right off the bat, we set more achievable goals? Maybe reaching a certain number of viewers or selling a specific number of copies could be a great starting point.
Just like those athletes who persevere without guarantees, we too can take action towards our dreams and see where it leads us. It’s about embracing the journey, knowing that success might not come overnight, but every step forward counts.
So, the next time you hesitate to pursue your passion, remember this: it’s okay to start small. Take that first step, give it your all, and see where it takes you. Who knows? You might just surprise yourself.
Here’s to embracing action and enjoying the ride!
