You've Just Got to Be Optimistic, Positive and Certain About Everything You Do and You Have to Go in Expecting Things to Go Your Way

You never really know if things will work out, even if you try your hardest and have the best intentions. Sometimes things simply don't work out. That's just how life goes, but one thing I've learnt over the years is not to let the fear of failure and disappointment determine how you feel and how you react to the world around you.

Like many of you, I used to try and protect myself and lower my expectations and try to ensure that if things didn't workout. I'd act like it wouldn't hurt and I'd waste countless moments worrying about things going wrong or planning my exit strategy to save face.

But it dawned on me eventually that is no way to live life and no way to live with passion and certainty and love in your heart. It's an easy game to play but ultimately, it does not serve you and what you truly want.

You've just got to be optimistic and positive and certain about everything you do and you have to go in expecting it to be exactly how you want it to be and plan only to be happy and successful!

Whatever you do in life, do it with a great level of energy, passion, love and commitment and if it doesn't work out and it fails, at least you will know deep down inside it wasn't because of your attitude, outlook and level of commitment.

Life is too short to play it safe and you can't really call it living if you keep protecting yourself from truly experiencing the life you want to live and the full range of emotions and feelings that come with it.

Go out there and love, live and create like you have nothing to lose and nothing to fear and if you're being honest with yourself, you don't have anything to lose and fear.
