Hey there !!! 

How have you been ?

Do you know Simone Biles? She has a combined total of 30 Olympic and World Championship medals. Now if you don’t know her, then you are most welcome to read her here.

Anyway, in one of her talks she used the phrase “Do something that scares you”. This one sentence has been residing in my mind for the last two days. What does this mean? Are people really ready to do things which scare them the most? Why would someone go beyond their comfort zone and do something which is scary? What would they achieve from this? So many questions, right?

Let’s start with the most important question now. What is the one thing that scares you the most? Very simple question yet difficult to answer. Let’s not objectify the question. Like I am scared of dogs, cockroaches, thieves etc. etc. Because these objects will scare you for a moment. The real question is what is that one thing that actually scares you, which will be there with you for your entire life, and you are not able to overcome it. You are having sleepless nights because of this. So here lies a simple solution. Just face it. Yeah, you heard me right. 

Failure –

This is the one thing, most of the people are scared of. Isn’t it?

A kid is scared about failing exams, an adult is scared about being last in the race of life and whatnot. Society has put this failure word in the mind of a person since his/her childhood. The scariest thing is to think what would happen if I failed in something. What would my parents and relatives think, what would society tell? Before starting a new work all these questions come to everyone’s mind and after doing self-evaluation, we eventually stop doing it. In this process somebody lost his/her dream of doing something different or to be different from others. If you look around, you see the celebrities, athletes and people whom you admire the most are living a lavish life with all the comforts one could dream of. But what you are missing is to see the struggle they had done to reach that place where they are now, the dedication they had given and the determination they had, strong mind without fear of the answer to what would happen If I failed.

Hence forget about all the what ifs, forget about the results. It will be a difficult journey if you are going to start a new phase of your life. It doesn’t matter what your age is, it doesn’t matter what your gender is, it doesn’t matter if you could do this or not, what matters is just start the thing Today. Sometimes it takes time to achieve what you want. Learn from your mistakes and keep going.

Failure is necessary for success. If you haven’t failed in something, then you could never know the taste of success.

I mentioned that I am not a skilled writer, and I don’t possess the ability to produce high-quality articles. I stopped thinking of the outcome, and started writing whatever comes to my mind with a little help from family and friends. No matter what the future holds, I will always cherish the courage I had to express myself honestly. Embracing this new endeavor has pushed me beyond my limits in the most incredible ways!

If I can, why can’t you? Think about it. Phrase from the video – If I Could Tell You Just One Thing
