No matter what you want to do with your life, you can do it. But to start, you have got to decide what you truly want to do with your life. You are the only one who can do that. No one can do it for you. And it is not going to easy. But do not let that keep you where you are.

To grow, you must change something that is not working for you. To get what you want in your life, it is your responsibility. Your brother can’t help you. You spouse can’t help you. Your friends can’t help you. Even your government can’t help you. Why? Why is that? Because they don’t know what you want to do with your life. Because you are the master of your life. Yes, your life.

No matter what it is that you want to do with yourself, you can do it. But you must decide. You must take a leap of faith. Because without action, nothing is going to happen. Just decide, then start the process. Yes, it is a process. You are not going to be successful overnight. There are no short cuts to success. If you want to be successful, you must decide. And you must live it on a daily basis. If not, it is not going to happen. Because success takes practice.

Why You Fear Failure

No one likes to fail. You are not alone. But failure is part of life. Whether you like it or not, you are going to fail. It is going to get worse before it gets better. There is no overnight success. You are not going to master your work overnight. If you want to grow, if you want to conquer your fears, don’t rush the process. Because it takes time to learn something. Don’t expect things to turn out right the first time. It is not going to happen. If you expect it to work out for you the first time, believe me, that is a losing strategy. It won’t work. Just give yourself time to do your thing. Things are not always going to work out perfectly the first time. Instead of beating yourself up for not completing your work, why not give yourself credit for even trying it. Respect failure. Respect the process. Because everything takes time to do, especially when you are doing it for the first time. If you want to change your life, from now on, you must change your meaning of failure. Failure is not failure. It is a way forward. Because you cannot grow without failure. That is what separates the successful ones from the rest of us. They are not afraid of failure. You shouldn’t be afraid of failure. Do not fear it. Use failure to move yourself forward in your life. When you fail, live it. When you fail, ask for help. Do not be scared to ask for help. Celebrate it when you get it. Help is healthy. It is life. When you make mistakes, fix them. Own them. Do not blame anyone for your mistakes. Instead of blaming other people for your own error, celebrate yourself for knowing what you don’t know.
