“What don’t kill me . . . Can only make me stronger.”
–Kanye West
The fear of the unknown. It’s a real fear that hinders so many people from reaching their true potential. Myself included. The what ifs and fear of failure often times keep us from pursuing our biggest dreams and ambitions.
- What if I fail miserably at my dream?
- What if I run out of ways to get my idea off the ground?
- What if I have to move back home with my parents because things didn’t work out?
The what ifs can be paralyzing, but in the grand scheme of things how bad are all the what-ifs really? People bounce back from failure every day. It’s called being resilient.
The next time fear paralyzes you from doing something. Ask yourself this. What is the absolute worst thing that could happen? Chances are the consequences won’t be as devastating as you thought they would be.
After all, as Kanye West says, the things that don’t kill us can only make us stronger.
