The Sunny Side #3: Mark Twain
Twenty years from now you will be more disappointed by the things that you didn’t do than by the ones you did do, so throw off the bowlines, sail away from safe harbor, catch the trade winds in your sails. Explore, Dream, Discover. —Mark Twain
When you look back a few years ago, what do you see? Do you witness your dreams coming true? Or tremendous failure?
Failure, by my definition, is not acting on your goals or missing your goals. But missing your goals is not always a bad thing. Maybe your goals were wrong for you or misplaced? Maybe they were set up wrong or not had the right path leading to them?
But Mark Twain said it well...
When you don't leave the shore in the first place, you don't take that first step, you make the first type of the keyboard, you'll have experianced the greatest of all failures- The failure of not even starting!
So don't wait anymore! Start writing your book, building your house, making your business! Because once you start, you'll find it's so addicting that you wont even want to stop!
You'll get the bug and never want to be rid of it.
That distant horizon will be hypnotic, dragging you on and on to your next quest!
Dream your dreams and then make them bigger and catch them as you push forward to your next!
And never stop believing in yourself!
