“At first I wasn’t sure that I had the talent, but I did know I had a fear of failure, and that fear compelled me to fight off anything that might abet it.”- Gordon Parks

It is easy to focus on what we are not good at. But you are good at something. Focus on what you are good at. Do what you are good at. Follow what you love. And do not do what you don’t like. Above all, you should never reduce yourself. Never!

You have the talent to do anything. You can do anything that you want to. You have what it takes to do it. Don’t discourage yourself. You must change your thinking. If you don’t change your thinking, you are not going to be able to change your life.

If you want your life to change, you must fill your mind with love thoughts, not fear thoughts. Fear is there, but do not let it stop you from achieving your dreams. The choice is always yours.

How To Use Fear To Your Advantage

In the words of Marie Curie, “Nothing in life is to be feared, it is only to be understood.” It is okay to fear something, but don’t let it stop your movement. Your opportunities are waiting for you. Your dreams are waiting for you. If you want them to happen, you must walk past your fears. Only fear can stop you from doing what you love. Only fear can stop you from achieving your dreams. Do not let that happen. If you want your dreams badly, you must do everything within your power to live your life. Use fear to your advantage. Use it to get to the next level. Use fear to change your life. Let fear spring you forward in your life, in your career. Do not let fear cripple you. Don’t worry about your past failures. Just worry about where you are going. Because where you are going is more important than where you have been. Do not look back. Always look forward. But do not ignore the present. Because life happens in the present, not in the past.
