Fail or Fly, Just Try

Can you believe that this year is already more than halfway over? Well, it is. How is it going with that New Year’s Resolution? Did you even attempt to make that resolution possible? How about your other goals and dreams that are on the shelf? Buried by dust and forgotten about?

The more I live, read, listen, and learn, the more I believe that everyone has goals and dreams. Everyone has passions and pursuits that they have in their hearts and minds. But many, if not most, of them, have given up on or shelved these things. Sometimes these things get put aside and forgotten about long before they are given a real shot at becoming reality.

What would happen if you unshelved, and dusted off those things that you laid aside a long time ago?

What could happen if you gave them a real chance?

How would your life be different?

How would you be different?

If you never actually try, then you will never know what could have been. If you never try, you will never know how you or your life could look in a few years. If you never take a chance on yourself or your dreams, you and your dreams will never know what might have happened.

If you decide to take action, formulate a plan, and then give consistent effort the possibilities for what is possible becomes limitless! Could you imagine what would be possible if you made the decision to act, and decided to see your dreams become reality? How awesome would that be? How would your life be different? How would you be different? Who else could be impacted positively by your decision to go for it?

The decision to quit or never start, is permanent. And will yield no fruit.

The decision to start and commit will eventually result in fruits for your labor.

Struggling to victory is far better than surrendering. Surrender leads to nothingness. Surrender is the end of the road. Surrendering in one thing can often lead to surrendering and giving up in other areas too. Struggle means that there is growth happening. Struggle means that there is still hope. Struggle means that there is still a possibility. Struggle means that there is a will and desire.

Surrender means that the fight is over, and the towel has been thrown. There will be no great comeback or victory.

Here is the thing about failure. Failure is a great teacher. Failure is a way that did not work. Failure is not a destination or label. It is simply a way that did not work. Failure is a minor setback, it is not permanent. And the best thing is, you can try again differently, with more experience.

If you read this far, thanks! Now go get it! I am proud of you!
