Do you know What is the point that separates the achievers, the victorious, the successful and the losers, the failures, the averages, the dead, the mediocre?
Do you know how a small decision has how much large impact on the outcome of your life, your world?
Do you know Why you were not able to cross the line which separates the successful and averages.
Do you know how a small decision results in a mediocre life full of sufferings?
Do you know how almost not taking a step, how almost not starting, how almost not going effects your life.
Are you suffered from ALMOST habit at any moment is life? You should have suffered. Everyone suffers.
Think about your life — Think about what you are today and observe that how waiting for the later, delaying it for a later moment, not doing it today, not taking action, not starting it, had how much impact on your life, how it affected your life.
As quoted by Jim Rohn that It doesn’t matter which side of the fence you get off on sometimes. What matters most is getting off. You cannot make progress without making decisions.
At what position you will be today, if you have not let the ALMOST blocked your way. If you have taken that step, if you have started that project, if you have tried one more time.
Who you are, what you are doing, what you want to become, what you want to achieve in this life. I have no concern with it but I want to tell you one thing that TODAY IS A GIFT and TOMORROW Is a Mystery. All the success, all the achievement, all the great outcomes results only from the progress you are making today, at this present moment. It depends only on what you are doing at this moment. Are you allowing the ALMOSTS to block your road? Are you allowing the shit excuses to block your way?
How many potential best sellers almost started?
How many potential greats almost stuck with it?
Think about it that how almost starting it, almost doing it, almost taking the first step, almost giving another try, almost not dropping the pen has changed your life.
Think and observe that how this almost has locked the greatness within you. How almost has locked your mind, how almost has stopped you from sharing your ideas with the world. How almost has locked your thinking capacity.
But to achieve a great successful life, you have to cross this line — this line of almost. All the opportunities lie on the other side of the mountains of almost.
You know that what happens to you is the result of your decisions. But if you decide that I will not sell myself short. I will not let this almost to block my way, I will do everything in my power. I will unlock the greatness within me.
One thing that holds us back is FEAR, INSECURITY. But to become great, you have to take huge risks. We have to realize and accept this reality that failure will not kill us. Worst outcome is better than just wondering and not doing it.
“Pearls don’t lie on the seashore. If you want one, you must dive for it.” — Chinese proverb
As quoted by a great man — “You will either step forward into growth or you will step back into safety”.
There are only two things, either we succeed or we learn. There is no failure for those who dare to take risks, who dare to give another try, who never give up.
As quoted by John A. Shedd “A Ship in a harbor is safe, but that is not what ships are built for”.
You can do what you Want-You can keep your ideas and stories locked in your head or you can execute it.
You can worry about a collapse or you can build.
You are sent to this world to make some difference in this world. You are sent here to leave a mark. You are not sent here to just live. So live here with the intent to leave a mark.
One thing I want you to save in your memory — and understand it clearly that there are no certainties in this life. If you never leave — You will never arrive. You have to put the key in to start the engine, to move towards your destination. Taking risks is the name of life. Highest risk is not taking any risks.
Take Risks — If you win you will be happy; if you lose, you will be wise.
The biggest risk is not taking any risk… In a world that changing really quickly, the only strategy that is guaranteed to fail is not taking risks. Mark Zuckerberg
“There can be no great accomplishment without risk” — Neil Armstrong
