"The only thing you need to do right now is face yourself.


Look you in the mirror and explain why you haven't tried to improve your vision.


That vision called life. The one you were sent here to live, not exist in."

Fears Kill Dreams

A month ago, I was invited to write a speech for a company I may be working with to motivate their subscribers (excerpt above). The feeling they needed to walk away with was 'it's okay to follow your dreams.'


As I sat down to put my thoughts to paper, I realised the one thing that holds everyone back isn't fear, it's the thought of the fear coming true.


You spend so much time regretting not doing things and planning in the next season to do them, just to later regret not doing them again. With this vicious cycle, at what point are you actually living?


At what point are you taking the actions that shape your character to have the things you really desire? Wanting isn't enough. Dreaming isn't enough. Hoping isn't enough. Blaming others isn't enough.


You not having what you want is based on your inability to breathe life into your dreams and death into your fears.


According to Wealth Research Group, 98% of people die without fulfilling their dreams. Imagine how many innovations, inspirations, love, happiness, solutions, overcome challenges, help, support, saved lives didn't happen because 98% of people thought that the fear of doing what they were born to do was too much to bear?

Time cannot be replenished.

The time you shoulda, coulda, woulda done all those things has passed. The great thing is that it's never too late to change your mind.

To avoid gifting the grave with your dreams, actively work on the thoughts you have. Decide that whatever you need to do is more important than sitting in your comfort. That no matter where you came from, what you own, what you know and what others have told you is possible for you, none of it matters, if fear wins.


Only what you think and believe matters.


Your dreams and fears cannot coexist. So decide whether the passions you have, the people you want to help, the lives you'll save, the love you'll give, the solutions you'll provide are worth more to you in the time you have on this earth or if you want to selfishly take them to the grave, where no one benefits.

Be confident in the fact that you have been given a unique purpose that only you can fulfil. Knowing that allows you to push aside the limiting beliefs keeping you trapped in negative thoughts.


This isn't to say that everything you try will work. That's not the point. If you don't try, you won't learn. If you don't learn, you won't improve. If you don't improve, you can't overcome. If you don't overcome, you can't inspire.


Someone is waiting for you to show up so their life can change. To do that, something has to die.


So what will you allow to die in you?


Your fears or your dreams?
