1) If I knew I couldn’t fail, I would kill everyone who got in my way. And I mean kill them with kindness and let them know that they were in my way.
2) I am not doing this now because I don’t believe people would support me on this.
3) see (2)
4) It makes me cry

1. I would do too many things. I’m at a point where I am supposed to pick a degree in University, but I stagger away from everything I really want to try. I think I have a problem knowing exactly what I want to do in life…

2. No. None.

3. Fear. Uncertainty. Unsteadiness.

I really need to think things over from your perspective.

I came across your blog at such a depressing day, and it’s bed time, over here, so it did give me even if a hint of hope. Thank you so much:)

1)I’d go to a bank/ Bill gates and say that my friend bet me a grand that I couldn’t get you to give me £1,000,000… and obviously as I cant fail I will gain £999,000… not bad for a days work….
2)Am I doing it? no!
3) why? because i would be humiliated !!!!

Ladies and Gents. This is a great post. Is it possible for us to have a real time discussion on this?

1. – Mentor/Executive coach for women in the 20s and 30s…and doing marketing consulting services. Trying to find work that is fulfilling, financially lucrative, flexible and fun (does it exist???)
2. I do this on a pro-bono basis…but still have a VP Marketing job that kills me…but it’s very lucrative
3. I’m afraid of being poor, I’m afraid of STILL having a frightening workload – I’m burned out!

Hey,

1- be making art that I am proud of and that is true.
– be actively involved in creating projects to improve my community.
– lead a healthy lifestyle

2- I just started.

Just a little message to everyone out there… I held myself back from pursuing my first goal for a very long time because in my mind it wasn’t a practical option. As a result, looking back, the rest of my life suffered. Ever since I started going after what I want, I would dare to say my whole life has improved. I have more energy because I’m excited about what I’m doing, I enjoy the small moments of my life more and am more appreciative, and I have a new stronger will-power where I didn’t before. I’ve realized that I can truly do anything I want to. I have a new faith and trust in myself that I will be o.k. and whatever life throws at me I will be able to handle it.

I would recommend following your dreams to everyone! If you don’t, you’re not really living.

-Emma.

So my first post to any blog was hear a couple of days ago, and now I find I’ve instantly turned into a serial poster!

I’ll repeat part of what I said on another topic, lack of self esteem/confidence/belief.

Its self belief that is the key ingredient in whether people let the fear of failure prevent them from taking the plunge so to speak.

The irony is that often a fear of failure, and the lack of self esteem that drives that fear, creates a paralysis of decision and action that ensures failure. This is particularly true of people who jump half way in (the entrepreneur who takes the plunge into his own business but does not have the courage to take the bold decisions necessary for success).

Success requires bold action, bold action requires us to overcome the fear of failure, the fear of failure is driven by lack of self esteem.

A difficult challenge to be sure. I know.
