Just do it. Take the risk.

We see it everywhere; we hear it everywhere.

Be consistent

If you want to be successful in life, the key is consistency…

What about those people who never had an opportunity to be consistent simply because they didn’t start?

They were too afraid to start.

Imagine the opportunities they missed because of the fear of taking that one risk.

Imagine Leonardo da Vinci didn’t pick up that paintbrush.

Imagine Shakespeare didn’t pick up that pen.

Imagine Aretha Franklin didn’t pick up that microphone.

If they didn’t take the risk, they would never know.

We would never know.

You may be afraid of failure;

Sure enough, if you try something, you may risk failure, but if you do not try, you ensure failure.

I have been trying to be a successful writer since 2019, and I have failed repeatedly, but I do not fear failure and I never will. Everyone fails at something, and I can accept failure, but I can’t accept not even trying.
