There is only one thing that makes a dream impossible to achieve: the fear of failure. – Paulo Coelho

Dreams are awesome.  To me they are the quintessential “what if?”  What if I do this, or what if that happens.  Dreams offer us endless possibilities.  Having dreams is amazing.  Taking a chance on your dreams, however, well that is absolutely terrifying.  I’m not going to lie, it’s scary as heck to take a chance and go after your dream.  What if you fail?  Well guess what, if you don’t try you already have failed.  If you do not try you will not achieve anything, and is that the way you want to live your life?  Taking that first step is very intimidating but you need to do it.  It doesn’t have to be a giant step, but whatever you do, take it.  Take a chance on your dreams, take a chance on your life. We’ve talked before about how anything you dream can be achieved.  You may have to tweak the dream a little, but you can do it, but only if you take that first step.  Don’t let yourself be held back by fear.  Start small, a small step, a small dream if you must, but start.  Don’t let fear of failure hold you back.  As Wayne Gretzky said, “You miss 100% of the shots you don’t take.”  Don’ t miss take your shot!
