How to abandon your dreams

Failure only threatens is if we feel defined by the outcome of our efforts in trying to achieve our goals.

Sometimes those goals are small things that influence the daily quality of our lives, and sometimes it’s big things that shape our future.

The source of fearing failure is in our need to be respected by those around us.

The only time we will be disrespected or diminished when we fail at something is when we surround ourselves with those who themselves are defined by how others see them.

In such environments, mediocrity and tradition will be sacred. Playing it safe will be considered responsible. And being risk averse will be considered maturity.

If the life that you seek is one without failure, without change, and without discovering who you truly are, then such environments are perfect for you.

But, as humans, we are restless in spirit, and adventurous in nature. We are driven by knowing that we left our mark and we improved the state of the world in the short time that we were here.

Mediocrity, conformance, and restraint therefore goes against our nature.

When we fight our nature from fear of exclusion or rejection, it’s only a matter of time before our health suffers, and our spirits will be dulled.

That’s how dreams are lost and hope is abandoned.

You owe it to yourself, and the next generation, to be true to the value that you are capable of creating in this world beyond just maintaining the status quo.

Live inspired.
