Today Is The Day

We all dream about how our life could be better if we just persue this or take that chance then we might get ahead of the game. How many what ifs have you notched up and how many opportunities have you declined for fear of failing.

Our lives can be strange and sometimes frustrating, have you got a friend that no matter what they do or how they seem to mess up they always come out on top and through what seems no fault of there own are very successful at what they seem to do badly.

How is that when may be you can’t seem to get ahead even though you do things right don’t mess up and still it isn’t happening for you. It is something that you really need to look at in a simple manner, don’t complicate it by over anylizing it.

So lets look at the friend first, how do you think they achieve what they do without failing. Well may be they don’t see themselves failing, may be they are just excited about what they will achieve with their success. If they do fail, may be you don’t even notice because it just doesn’t phase them as they only see success and a minor failure is just a small obsticle to be tossed aside and learnt from along their road called success.

Now lets look at you, are you so frightened by failure that it is hindering your success. You won’t take that opportunity that has presented itself to you because the risk is to high and if you fail then how will you cope. How are you going to get over the fact that what you tried didn’t work. If you give up then it didn’t work, but may be it was just the way you were trying it didn’t work. Instead of giving up try it another way, because there is always a way that will work.

You see your friend succeeds because he has no doubt that he will, he ignores failure because it does not exist. Where as you doubt your success because you believe in failure and if you believe in it then it will always be with you.

You can achieve success just as your friend has, he does not posses any super powers you both have the same options available to you. The only rule there is to success is knowing it is you. If you doubt it then it will do its upmost to avoid you and failure will be your best friend.

So many of us don’t take up the opportunities that present themselves to us through fear of failure, only to find that many years down the line we have the same opportunity and go for it, probably because we are that bit wiser and not so affraid of failure. The outcome on many occassions is I wish I had done this years ago.

I came up with a little motto for that particular situation.

Do It Today Because You Will Do It One Day And Then You Will Kick Youself For Not Doing It Today.

I am not sure what you think of this post, but I will explain. It is my attempt at a little inspirational writing and in fact the whole thing was aimed at me 10 years ago, it’s just a shame I didn’t get to read it then because I could kick myself now.
