You're here right now at this moment because tomorrow you want to be somebody greater than
the person you are today.
You see yourself succeeding, you have a vision, you have a dream.
Congratulations you're already ten steps ahead of ninety-five percent of the world.
Imagine if Michael Jordan was scared of missing.
He would have never taken a shot.
Imagine if Steve Jobs was afraid of people not liking his product.
There would be no iphone.
So ask yourself this do you want to be a person who fears failure or do you want to be a person
who loves success?
Which one?
Because you're gonna have to pick today and I'll tell you one thing one is a failure and
one is a success and if you love success there is nothing that can stop you all those negative
things people say will mean nothing.
They're going to talk about how only 1% make it to the top.
Big deal.
Want to know something else only 1% stick with that fitness program long enough to see
results only 1% of nerds stick with that video game long enough to get good at it only 1%
of relationships stick it out to the end that doesn't mean you have a one-percent chance
it just means you can't behave like the ninety-nine percent you'll have to do something better
than giving up a month from now those are just numbers.
You want to talk about numbers take a look around you and take a good look around you.
Are you like ninety-nine percent of the people around you?
If you are then you're in the wrong video my friend you have to love success just as
much because that's going to allow you to get up and go for it.
Being scared to fail won't do anything in fact when you love success and you start going
for it guess what happens?
You're gonna fail you're going to fail ten times a hundred times maybe even a thousand
times but that's okay.
Failure isn't permanent falling isn't permanent you get right back up and keep going and this
time you're going to be stronger, wiser and you'll be more driven than ever and for every
ten failures you'll land one success.
You have to love success so much that you're willing to fail ten times before you can succeed
once.
That's how a winner does it.
I want to explain the biggest myth that most people think leads them to success and here's
the myth you might believe if you're scared to fail you won't fail.
Lies.
Biggest myth ever and I believed it you see I always thought that being scared to fail
in life would literally keep me from failing.
I would look at the losers around me and I would say sheesh I never want to turn out
like him.
I really believe this train of thought would help me succeed until one day I was walking
down the street and I saw an old man had a hat, suspenders and a cane was about 80 years
old this old man was barely walking he could walk but the cane helped a lot he was struggling
so anyway he was walking across the street and he ended up falling so I went over to
go help him and he gets up says thank you and we introduced ourselves had a little conversation
told me his name and I told him mine, his name was Robert by the way and right as he
walked away I told him this is what I said Robert you should stay inside where it's safe
my friend and Robert turns around and says to me I love walking and I love walking way
more than I'm afraid of falling so I asked him well what about your safety don't you
want to live and he told me this these are the exact words he said he said this Solo,
living means doing what you love to do and if I had to fall here and there to do what
I want to do in life then so be it and he just walked away never saw him again that
was it but that statement really had me thinking and it had me thinking hard because I learned
something that day.
That's when I realized the true key to success.
You see I always thought if I could just fear the act of failing and if I fear it like crazy
I will succeed because i thought the fear would magically motivate me to get out there
and start taking action but after that day uh-uh I realized something I realized it's
the love for success that will lead me to succeeding.
So just imagine if Robert feared falling would he even start walking?
Of course not he wouldn't even do what he loved to do he would sit at home and take
no type of action but he loved walking wasn't even scared to fall.
It gave him life that's what allowed him to get up and do it he loved walking so much
he was willing to fall 10 times a day just to do it and you have to be the same so the
next time someone tells you you're going to fail you know what you tell them tell them
they're right but you're not afraid to fail you're not afraid to take action you're not
afraid to jump you're gonna fail 10 times but you know what it's cool because on the
11th time you'll succeed oh you'll succeed all right and it'll feel good and while you're
over here living the life of your dreams in complete happiness guess where they're going
to be that's right they'll be failures the real failures over there where it's safe scared
to fail.
