Hey everybody, what’s up? It’s Frank from frankhopkinsjunior.com. Hope you’re doing amazing today. I don’t know who said this quote, but it goes something like:
“Don’t fear failure; fear being in the same place a year from now. Fear being in the exact same place you are 12 months from today.”
I’ve seen how fear keeps us from trying, holds us back. The thing about fear is the acronym F.E.A.R. represents “False Evidence Appearing Real,” being afraid of things that never happened.
This year, you’ve said to yourself, “I want to achieve things. I want to try, but I’m afraid.” Get past the fear of failing. When it’s all said and done in your life, you’re going to look at yourself and say, “I’m totally cool as long as I got up to swing, as long as I tried, as long as I made an effort to achieve those things I wanted to achieve.” But if you let fear keep you on the sidelines, keep you out of the game, you’ll regret it.
I don’t regret any time that I got up and swung back. I regret all those times that I should’ve gotten up and given it a try and didn’t for one reason or another. So this year, whatever that is for you, whatever that thing is that you want to accomplish, get up and try it. If you fail, it’s okay. You learn, and you just try again until you succeed. Go out and do those things that you say you want to accomplish. Have a great day.
