Are you afraid to fail? Who doesn’t? Still, most successful achievers of all times just stood up, dusted their clothes down and began with their next attempt at success.
I failed many times in my life. I cried, got angry, got depressed, complained to whomever was willing to listen, ate as much chocolate as I could and cried some more. But somehow, after some time I always got up again.
One of my favorite 6-word wisdom is this Japanese proverb:
“Fall seven times, stand up eight.”
Think back on your life and experiences and realize that most times you don’t even have to fail seven times to get to your dream.
And even if you do fall 20 times, what are your options?
You can give up on your ideas, your plans. This is the easiest option for many. But this comes with the highest price tag. Do you really want to look back on your life on your death-bed and cry about all those dreams you had but never managed to reach because you gave up too early?
And you can decide to make another try, take another route, find another method, ask for advice, take a rest and gather your energy again and make it happen this time. And the next time, you might fail, and the next…. Until you reach that goal, realize that dream, win your game, explore a new territory, and manifest your idea. Until you live your preferred vision of your life.
What other option do you have? What will you do next time you fall?
Anything you want. Just take action. Today.
