“Fear of looking stupid is the No. 1 killer of dreams. The worst part? The people who make you feel stupid are usually the ones least qualified to judge someone else’s life.” —Anthony Moore
Have you ever had a dream to do something you are passionate about only to have someone or several people in your sphere of influence tell you that you “can’t” to it? Maybe they told you it will “never work” or you aren’t talented enough to make it successful. Perhaps they gave you a list of reasons why it wouldn’t work.
I’ve had this happen to me a few times growing up. I’ve had parents, friends, school peers, even my wife try to tell me to not go for what I thought I could do.
What I have found is most, if not all of these people, either was very risk adverse or they had fear rule their thinking.
I didn’t ignore their “advice”, I chose to weigh the risks vs. the reward and decided it was worth the risk.
It is very tempting to abandon ones dream in order to quiet the naysayers or even to succumb to the doubts you may have had at the start of the dream. Sometimes you just have to take that leap of faith and even fail to realize what it is you want to do with the rest of your life.
I wish you all the faith and passion to fulfill your dream(s)!
Be careful out there!
