- "I will not be able to do it"
- "I cannot"
- "Not possible"
- "No Way"
- "Can't"
These are some of the most overused words in our vocabulary. We utter these words before we even try anything new. We fear failure, so we do not even bother trying. We get defensive and back out even before we have stepped into the ring. Already we dread what may happen. We never think that by doing the act, positive things might happen. We just feed our fears and assume only a negative outcome.
How will you know until you try?
How will you know what you are capable of, until you actually perform the feat? Who knows, you might outshine others and might actually enjoy the same thing you were dreading.
Sure, some first time experiences might not come out good, but that's what life is. You will get sour grapes every once in a while. This should not prevent you from trying out every activity at least once in your life.
The greatest journey begins with a single step. If you do not take that first step, how do you expect to embark on the journey?
Never fuel your fears. In fact use the energy behind the fear, to do the same thing which you fear. If you have been putting off anything because of whatever reason, do it today. Experience it at least once in your life.
Maybe it is public speaking, saying "I Love You" to someone, sky diving, asking for a raise or as simple as trying a new cuisine. Make a list of the things you have always wanted to do, but never got the courage to perform. Make it right now! Go about doing these things, at least once.
You will never know until you try.
