Risks Are Good

When out setting goals, working on projects, or just about anything someone is doing, one is most likely than not are going to run across challenges and sometimes taking risks are good.  If one has a plan and can foresee the obstacles down the road, he or she should practice risk management. One should weigh the pros and cons in his or her plan.  Knowing how to combat the risks and to minimize them from getting out of control and ruining one's goals, projects; causing someone to start over after exhausting a lot of time and resource and stunting one's growth.  That is how one growth, through challenges and setting goals.  Risks are good when knowing when to take them.  If one knows the impact of a risk, for example, if a risk has a low risk, high reward one, and someone can have a good rationale from having a clear understanding of the risk.  That is when it is a good time to take a risk.  One has the confidence and proper judgement to take risks when the opportunity or situation present itself.  Do not be afraid to take risks, because one is limiting him or herself and will be unable to grow and learn from them.  Take risks because life is about learning from experiences.

Failure Is Not An Option

Failure is not an option when one has the belief, determination, and psyche to go after what he or she desires.  He or she can already see or envisions him or herself there before he or she reaches that goal.   That person already knows what challenges and adversities lie ahead and is not afraid to still go after what he or she is passionate about.  Anything someone wants out of life is not going to come easy or handed to him or her.  But with hard work, commitment, and a positive that person has the belief and determination to achieve that goal.  Even when someone is in the process of reaching his or her goal and there are unsuccessful attempts, he or she still strives towards that goals, because one knows he or she possess the abilities, which is also his or her utilities to obtain that goal or goals that he or she is seeking.   Remember, it is not how you start, because more than likely there are going to be some rough patches along the way, but how one finishes.  Failure is not an option when one knows to expect and confidence to go after what he or she wants.  Do not be afraid, because fear limits someone's growth and will be unable to be a better you.

What Is Your Passion?

Everyone has hopes and dream when he or she is little.  These passions are discovered through exposure from television, the environment he or she is from, the internet, just about anywhere.  One usually envisions him or herself doing whatever passion he or she desires.  That is what passion is, a burning desire that saturates in a person's psyche for a long time.  As the old saying goes, one usually eats, sleeps, breaths whatever passion he or she envisions doing one day. Nothing in the world usually makes a person more happier than to imagine him or herself doing his or her passion.  Unfortunately, as some people get older and realize they feel as so they cannot reach those passions for whatever reasons.  Planting a bad seed into one's mind can cause someone not to strive for those passions as one used to have as a little child. When one places doubt into his or her mind that is when excuses are born. I feel like everyone has the necessary abilities to accomplish anything he or she wants to achieve in life. In one of my previous posts, Your Abilities=Your Utilities , I wrote more about that.  Everyone has unique abilities, and one's strengths are different from another's strengths.  It is up to the person to utilize them.  Even if one has unsuccessful attempts from one passion, but learn from those unsuccessful attempts, another passion may derive from it.  It is okay for someone to have more than one passion.  Do not limit oneself.  Try to maximize the potential that lies within oneself.  Searching and discovering anything in life are going be through trials and errors, that is how experience is acquired.  Do not fear going after a passion, strive at it.  Do not live in fear, it will only hinder you.

Be Great Not Good

My dad once told me, "Good is the evil of great."  He had gotten that from a book.  I had forgotten name of it.  It is easy for someone to settle for being okay or good than to be great.  Everyone has heard of the expression, "Take what you can get or settle."  There is nothing negative about that phrase, because time does move fast and it is better than having nothing at all. No one wants to look back and say, "I have could have done a little better than what I had settle for."  It may be more work and harder to achieve greatness, but one gets to say, "I gave it my all,"  and have no regrets.  Being good limits oneself and holds on to untapped potential.  Even when someone is unsuccessful the first, second, or how many times, keep trying.  Being unsuccessful at something multiple times does not equate to failure.  Life is about experiencing.  Being unsuccessful at something in life is inevitable.  Overcoming barriers in life after multiple unsuccessful attempts is what is going to make someone to  be successful in life.  People learn more from mistakes than not.    From adversities, challenges bourn out stronger character and success.  Don't fear away from being great, take it by the horns.
