Ambition, Success and Fear

I've faced a tremendous fear, but I learned how to conquer it. It was hard at first, because many good reasons came up as to why I shouldn't.

The stakes were high because what was at stake was precious time. Right now in my 20's it's the ripe opportunity to be at my best, physically, mentally and I'm able to make as many mistakes as I can without facing serious repercussions.

Yet somehow I still managed to make excuses. "What's the point? It's too hard. I'm not good enough. I'll get it done tomorrow." All excuses and reasons as to why I can't.

But why even focus on that bullshit, instead of looking at challenges as something that's too great, why not pay attention to the why not? Who says I can't? Are those successful people I see on screen better than me? Not necessarily, they worked at it. All the skill I see is potential and hard work coming together. They're not better, they're just busier.

It's going to sound corny but I believe people can do anything they set their mind to. With enough effort I know I can. It's just about looking at it as a challenge. I'll fail often, but that's ok. Because I just created another angle. I won't be going back that route and I'll learn from my mistakes. One option down means one step closer to finding the right move.

So I look at the fear and all the reasons why not and say "If I want it bad enough, I can sacrifice my time in exchange to get closer to my passion" Because I am worth it, because it's the only thing that I'm willing to fight for and set time aside for. The better the challenge the more skill I gain. It's only going to make me stronger and I refuse to let anything get in my way to achieve this.

If I want it bad enough I'll find a way, all this opportunity to make it is the reason why the negative thoughts are just that, thoughts. Just like a good idea that doesn't get applied, all it becomes is loose information. It doesn't take me anywhere, what does is applying the skill.

Yes I'm going to lose and have to learn all the basics, but that's all good because at least I took the chance. No one wants to be the guy that uses words like "should have, wished I did, I could of done it" Yeah well why didn't you? There's no better reason for finding success than to be successful.

All we have is space and opportunity, I'm willing to set it all down and get shit done.
