The step

Tuesday, August 12
You might fail.
You might look ridiculous.
You might not be good enough (yet).
But what if failure is the lesson you need to get to the next level?
What if looking ridiculous in the short term leads to excellence in the long term?
What if you might eventually be great?
You can play it “safe” and stay average today, just keep going through the motions. It will feel good today but it will lead to regret tomorrow. Why? Because the rest of your life will be full of “what if?” questions. You’ll have to live with knowing you never even tried to figure out what your potential was. That you let fear win the day over and over again.
And while failure isn’t always fun, it is often the catalyst for greatness. The path of fear, however, never produces good fruit.
Take the step today. It doesn’t have to be a leap. Just a step. The best version of you demands it.
Keep chopping wood. 🪵🪓
