Yesterday I asked the following question on Facebook: How would your behavior change if you knew SUCCESS was guaranteed? I’ve asked my friends and family this question and they mostly responded with:
1. I wouldn’t be stressed.
2. I’d be more focused.
Most people fear that their success is not guaranteed and therefore do not put in the effort to make their dreams come true. With this said, I would like to make a suggestion to The Big Guy in Red to put Fear on his Naughty List and Ambition on his Nice.
If success was guaranteed, would you be more confident? Would you enjoy your life’s ups and downs, and have fun along the way? Does one necessarily need a guarantee to have a happy life? I would think that if you are not confidently happy to enjoy your life’s journey it would be harder to reach your successes.
Do not allow yourself to be ruled by the fear of failure and vulnerability because it takes away from your ambition to happily go after your dreams. If you catch yourself believing that you are failing in some sort of way, remember that every failure gives you something to learn and grow from and makes you stronger overall. Keep striving to reach your goals and do not slow your progress down with fear. If you want your music/art/dream/passion to grow then you need to find the courage within you to believe that your success is guaranteed. This mindset will empower you to be focused and driven while allowing yourself to enjoy your journey.
Here’s to being on the Nice List,
AB
