Failure is InevitableA Story by Gerr A writing from my personal collection expressing my passion for change and hope for the future. A reality check for myself, and hopefully any who read. Failure is inevitable.
The fear of failure is paralyzing.
The fear of failure is a poison that is slowly killing me and my dreams
because it is taking away my time of living my dream. Failure will happen. Failure will hurt. Death is inevitable. Death will happen. Death will suck. The longer I keep fear between me and death,
the less likely I am to achieve my dreams, my goals, and my full
potential. The sand is ever moving. The concept of death is hard to fully understand. I will run out of time one day and all of my unaccomplished
dreams will go forever unfulfilled.
Fulfillment equals happiness. I
need to get out of my own way. Exploratory creativity is something that will someday cease to exist
within me. I have so much potential
within that is going without being released.
Complacency is such an easy route, but it so unsatisfying. It is better for me to allow myself to go
down the less traveled; no matter how much more difficult it looks than the well-worn
path I am continuing down. It will no
doubt have slippery slopes, towering peaks, falling rocks, and beautiful
scenery and it will lead to a better adventure even if it doesn’t reach the
summit. There is so much inside of me
that I need to just let it go. This will be the hardest transformation I have ever done in
my life. I have survived all of my
failures in the past and even though I can recall them, they have been for the
most part short lived. I have learned
more from my failures than from my successes.
I am fully committing myself to transforming my thought process and
allow myself to achieve great successes and suffer massive failures; and I will
learn from it, enjoy it, and live it all.
My mind will be freed, my soul will not go untouched, my
spirits will be continually strengthened and lifted, and my life will be
fuller. I will be happier. I will search many avenues to find my true
self. I will no longer float through
life. I will take the time to smell the
roses. I will watch the sun set, feel
the wind on my face, hear those who speak, taste the privilege of fresh food; I
will appreciate the little things in life that comprise this wonderful life. I will leave things better than when I found
them. Things that are out of my control
will not cause negativity in my life. This is my new way of life and thinking. It will be a fantastic journey and I am so
ready to begin. I already feel more hope
than I ever have before and it is all because of my personal frame of
mind. Not one thing around me has changed,
but everything looks and feels different.
Everything around me is no longer there just because; it has more
potential than it ever has before. I
was blessed with an imaginative mind. I
literally dream stories and wake up so excited when I am able to recall them. It is time to take advantage of my God given
gifts and to stop wasting precious time.
The time is now. I am so thankful that I have made it this far and have the
people around me that I do. I am not so
naive to think I have been completely blinded my whole life and have just had
the veil removed, but I can definitely see clearer now. I look forward to my vision becoming clearer
and clearer as time passes as I continue with my new perspective. This adventure will not be a linear road, but
rather a winding path full of exploration and discovery. I hope to blaze a new trail. So here I go with a deep breath and wide
eyes. This should be good. © 2015 GerrReviews
