Do you know what’s stopping you from going after your biggest dream? If you have no idea, you should sit down and think about it. I don’t have to know what’s holding you back, but I do know what has always held me back. Fear of failure.

I was always so afraid of going after my dream of becoming an international best selling author that it stopped me from even attempting it. Even when I decided to give it a shot, I still had a hard time sharing my ambition with others because of what they might think.

Although I haven’t reached my goal yet, my fear of failure no longer has the power it once held. I no longer see failure as a result, but just another step along my path. My biggest fear today is not failure at all, but having to wear a mask that no longer fits me.

I’m not pretending anymore, and I don’t give a shit who watches me swing for the fences because when I finally reach home plate, you will know that I called my shot. I’ll keep putting on my hard hat every day until I reach my goal and I’ll keep working to prepare myself for that perfect pitch.

I’m not afraid of failure because I’ve changed my perspective around what it represents. I am prepared for failure, and in doing so, I am also ready for success! They are not separate paths; they are one!
