Yes.
YOU.
Intelligent.
Talented as hell.
Ready to RISE.
Yet what are you doing?
Standing still.
WHY?
You are afraid.
Everyone is in the ring.
EVERYONE is bolder than you.
And somehow smarter and better, and–
But, wait!
How do you know?
When have YOU tried?
I mean, let’s tell the truth.
You dare enough to dream,
But not
DO.
In fact, you feel that once you do DO,
You are, somehow
Doomed!
You want an easy
GRIT-FREE
ride.
You don’t want to pay the cost—just
be
the
Boss.
Well, I’m gonna tell you something.
The only way to succeed is to fail first.
And yes.
YES!
It’s been said a million times.
The cliche–it BURNS!!
But it hurts because it’s the truth.
Failure builds character.
Failure gets your juices flowing.
Failure gets your mind
GROWING.
(And you know all those times when it seems like
NOTHING’S
GOING ON?
That’s not failure. That’s called
BUILDING
YOUR
FOUNDATION.)
There is a place where you belong,
But in order to get there,
You will need the lessons that come
In your state of simplicity.
From the roots of
humility
and hard work.
From
pride
in the sense that you know how to honour your gifts.
And you will get there.
But not by asking about opportunities and not following up.*
Not by hesitating, when you have all the tools that you need for a fresh start.
No.
*Been there. Done that. Why do you think I’m writing this?
