risk it.

too often are we scared
scared of what we might not be able to do
scared of what people might think if we tried
we let our fears stand in the way of our hopes
we say no when we want to say yes
we sit quietly when we want to scream
and we shout with others when we should keep our mouths shut
why?
after all we do only go around once
there is really no time to be scared.

so stop

try something you've never tried

risk it

dont give me a footnote when i deserve a chapter

I CANNOTDO IT

Never let it be said that to dream is a waste of ones time.

For dreams are our realities in waiting

In dreams we plant the seeds of our future

Fear is nothing more then an obstacle that stands in the

way of our progress;; in overcoming our fears we can move

forward, stronger and wiser within ourselves.

If you want to live a happy life,

tie it to a goal, not to people or things.

&& dont let anything stand in your way

The only time you run out of chances

is when you stop taking them.

So stand for whats right, even if you stand alone

Fear.

Fear is a great motivator for my running. I am one of those people who are terrified of losing. There are millions of people like me. Afraid of failure. The difference between them and myself is that my fear motivates me, it doesn't hinder me. When I'm scared, I work harder, I don't give up. When I'm defeated, I believe harder, I don't doubt myself.

When I'm scared, I'm desperate and it written all over my face when i run.

This is a tough way to play the game. But my fear is my strength. When it comes down to racing, its a matter of life and death. Failure is not an option i consider or prepare for.

Thats what its all about. Catch or be caught. Flee or Fail. You have to know you are the best. There is no option. Bare your souls and lay everything on the line.

Because, if your not scared, then your not taking risks.

&& if your not taking risks, then your not going anywhere.

Where art thou o' confidence.

Like a burst of flames i am now full of doubt.

Doubt is a funny thing, one minute your unstoppable, the next there is a seed of doubt planted in your mind. A weed. If you let it continue to live in the corner of you mind and it will soon spread to grow into something much bigger. It will take your confidence, your believe and your goals. Even if you’re on the right track, you’ll get run over if you just sit there.

In this life you need to be proactive. Nothing in life comes easy. Nothing is free or without great cost. Sacrifice. Hardship. The only place where success comes before work is in the dictionary! Our doubts are traitors and make us lose the good we often might win by fearing to attempt. Now, i never though this would ever describe me but after years of people planting the seed of doubt in my head i guess i never addressed it and it grew. Its hard when very few truly believe in you. But it ends now. A mind troubled by doubt cannot focus on the course to victory.

Why does it matter what people say? But if you call a cat a dog, treat a cat like a dog for long enough, that cat will start believing its a dog. horrible metaphor i know but when people keep telling me over and over and over again that i can not do something, you start believing them. and thats a very slippery slope to be on. but as they say, if you’re going through hell, keep going.

People may doubt what you say

but they will believe what you do.

They have to. So let them doubt you.

Discourage you. Disrespect you.

Let them tell you that you cant do it.

Prove them wrong.

And when you get to the end of the rope, tie a knot and hang on. Because it is your attitude, not your aptitude, that determines your altitude. Hard work spotlights the character of people.

Some turn up their sleeves.

Some turn up their noses,

and some don’t turn up at all.

So many of our dreams at first seems impossible,

then they seem improbable,

and then, when we summon the will,

they soon become inevitable

today is the first day of the rest of your life

Here i sit. With high hopes and big dreams. But i am no different to most. "I wanna do this, I'm going to do that" but am i really willing to do what others don't to achieve what others wont? I'd like to think i would do everything to be the best i can but some days that is a lie. The capacity to learn is a gift; The ability to learn is a skill; The WILLINGNESS to learn is a choice and some days its just easier to choose to be mediocre. Why must this pursuit for perfection rule my life? To myself I seem to be like a girl playing idly on the seashore, now and then finding a prettier shell than ordinary, while the great ocean of success lay undiscovered before me. I have had my solutions for a long time, but I do not yet know how I am to arrive at them. I work hard, believe, suffer and sacrifice. The idea that so much suffering can be in vain is intolerable to me, i know persistence is the key but which door does it open? My mum told me when i was very young that God will never give you more then you can handle. and i try to keep this in mind on days like this. Day so dark you wouldn't know them to exist.

But I must get up, dust myself off and pursue these dreams. Maybe I made you believe that it was easy. But I've worked on this these dreams, every single day of my life.

Which is exactly why I must push on, and persist. To chase my dreams through the struggle and hardship because if I don't, the last 16 years of my life had been a build up to nothing. A giant drum roll.

The graveyards are full of irreplaceable people, but only winners are remembered.
