Don’t Be Afraid To Try New Things

Life is a risk. You are not here to play with your life. You are not here to waste your time. You are here to make a difference, to touch other people’s lives, to change what you can change.

If you do not take risks, life is going anyway. If you are too scared to do the work, other people are getting the job done anyway.

If you do not want to learn, to grow, if you are too comfortable to try new things, other people are trying new things anyway. When they are done, they will leave you behind.

Is that what you want for yourself? Is that how you want to live your life? What do you want people to say about you when you are gone? What do you want them to call you? Lazy? Serious? Nice? Poor? Broke? Angry? Success? Successful? Failure? Or a loser?

The choice is yours. And yours only. If you do not want your life to be like that, you have got to take risks. You have got to be uncomfortable in your comfort zone.

You have got to stay open to what is possible. And a lot of things are possible.

To know what you can do, you must try. To know what is possible, you have got to leave where you are. To say it another way, you have got to go there.

Will you go there? Do you have the courage to go there?

Whether you have the courage or not, remember that all things are possible.

You are more, not less!

Do Not Rush, But Do Not Forget What You Want

‘Never be discouraged because good things get on so slowly here; and never fail daily to do that good which lies next to your hand.’- George MacDonald

If you know what you want, if you are going somewhere, then take your time. Do not rush, but do not do it forever.

Great things take time, but they don’t take forever to achieve them.

Like or not, whatever is taking you forever to achieve is not for you. How long do you think you still have on earth?

Why do you want to spend the rest of your life with something that is lifeless, that is not working, that is dead? Why?

Instead, why not move on to what is right in front of you. We don’t see what is in front of us because we are after what is on the other side of the fence. Guess what? There is nothing there.

What you have right now is what you need to get to your next level. If you do it well, your next level is possible. If you do not do it well, your next level is on hold.

Do not put your greatness on hold. We do it every day. We put our lives on hold when we are waiting for what is not there.

Instead of doing, we are just hoping. If you want to do be successful, hope is not a strategy.

Hope is great, but you must do the work. Do not wait for what is not there. Instead, take what you already have and turn it into what you are waiting for.

Instead of waiting for your dream job, why not turn what you are doing right now into what you are waiting for?

If you want to be succeeful, it is not what you are doing that matters; it is how you are doing it that matters.

Be patient, but know what you are doing. Know what you want, and know when to say, ‘enough is enough.’
