Thomas J Nelson RealtorAbove is my book one mentioned below. I'm chapter 13, page 100-103.

 

 

"It is better to try big things, even though checkered by

failure, than to rank with those poor souls who neither enjoy

much nor suffer much."


Theodore Roosevelt

 

Your action for today is to think of something big

that you've been putting off

for fear of failing and take one step toward

achieving it.

 

Design an extraordinary day!

 

For me it's finishing my 2nd book.

My first book was a collaboration, but this one 

is all mee, and that is the difference I suppose.

 

What is yours?

Hello Thomas - good job and continued success as you spread the positive information.  The Roosevelt quote is a classic and one worth repeating in times when the fear of failure seems overwhelming.

Coming to America was a big step, didn't work out the way I planned, and it took some time recovering and overcoming the fear to start again. But, I did, now I am in a new stage, considering new relationships, having been married a long time, that is scary as well. I understand your fear of heights, maybe I should go jump out of a plane everything else might pale into insignificance then.

Hi Thomas- very uplifting post. When my nieces were growing up and not sure of their goals, I would ask them "what would you do if you knew you would not fail?"

Paul S. Henderson, REALTOR®, CRS I love hearing that, we should all realize success is located outside our comfort zones.

Kathy Streib I love that quote, the irony of it is, as you and I know from owning businesses and having families, failure is part of the process of success. We learn more from failures and yet we fear them.
