One of the things that stands between us and our quality of life, is the underlying fear of death. From the moment we don’t fear death anymore, we don’t fear life either. When we get rid of the fear of dying, we get rid of a lot of others fears with it.
The moment that we become almost fearless, we can enjoy life to its fullest because of our willingness to take risks.
Isn’t it ironic that people who are ready to take on more risk are often the ones who are reaping the rewards? And even when they don’t get the big prize, they are having fun enjoying what they love the most, and that in itself is the reward; the satisfaction of a job well done.
My hope is that some young people understand this concept as early as possible. So much time and frustration could be avoided.
Yes but what if I fail? Try again.
And what if I fail again? Try again , and again, and again.
And what if my friends laugh at me? Ask yourself ; what risk are my so-called friends taking?
Did you take the time to identify YOUR fears of failure?
What are you ready to lose in order to gain something bigger or better?

Hi Ashliegh ,
Did u ever take the time to identify your top 5 or top 10 activities that u enjoy doing the most?
Did u ever try to see how u could earn a living and at the same time do what u enjoy the most.
It s much easier to show up at the job or at school in the morning when u like what u do.
When u really like what u do , it doesn’t feel as much like working
Does it make any sense?

Je suis 100% d’accord et de mon côté c’est une valeur que j’essaie d’inculquer à mes enfants à toutes les jours. Trouve une seule chose que tu as aimé aujourd’hui et ta journée à été réussi.
