Fear Not

Go ahead, stare fear in the face, right now, I dare you.

 

 

 

Go out and see if that imaginary fear is really there, it isn't.

 

Your fear is not your real fear, It is your imagined fear that is your real fear.

 

 

 

You will find that your problem is not actually your problem.

 

You reaction and postponement to the problem is the real problem.

 

 

 

There are no real difficulties in life, only imagined difficulties.

 

Your greatest fear should not be the fear of failure,

 

but of succeeding at those things that don't really matter.

 

 

 

Little minds are forever subdued by misfortune; great minds soar above it.

 

Refuse to be a prisoner of the environment in which you find yourself.

 

Break free, as fortune favours the brave.

 

 

 

Don't let the fear of losing be greater than the excitement of winning.

 

Don't let what you cannot do interfere with what you can do.

 

Don't raise your voice, just improve your argument.

 

 

 

A successful person does what other people are not willing to do.

 

A successful person is an average person, with full on focus.

 

A successful person is one who will lay a firm footing with the rocks other people have thrown.

 

A successful person is motivated by the desire to achieve and not by the desire to beat others.

 

 

 

All of the important things that have been accomplished by people,

 

are those people who have kept on going when all seemed so lost.

 

 

 

You will never reach your goal if you never define your goal.

 

If you genuinely want something, don't ever wait for it, go ahead and claim it.

 

Take up one really good idea for the moment, one that makes you happy.

 

Leave all other thoughts and ideas alone.

 

 

 

Make sure everything you do, is the very best.

 

Make sure everything you do is beautiful.

 

Be kind and gentle on yourself as you would be to others.

 

Always strive to do your best.

 

 

 

Only put off until tomorrow, what you are willing to leave undone.

 

What you do today, you will harvest tomorrow.

 

What you do today will colour all of your tomorrows.

 

 

 

Be miserable or motivate yourself.

 

 

 

Whatever has to be done, get it done, it's always your choice.

 

 

 

We are never made wise by the recollection of our past,

 

This is only accomplished by taking responsibility for our future.

 

Author's Notes/Comments: 

Not technically all my own words, but rearranged to make sense and put into a poem I might remember time and time again when the going gets tough.
