facing failure and three big goals

To be honest I have some big goals for myself, and really no clue how to reach any of them. I know they take hard work and dedication, and I am willing to put in the hours. To be honest though I am not sure where to start with this whole changing my life for the better journey that I want to go on. The things that I want to change are going to change my life forever and to be honest I am a little scared about that.

I have a fear of failure, if I believe there a chance that I can fail doing something then I will not even try it. On the other hand, if I do try it then I will make myself fail just to prove a point that the only thing I am good at is failing. Why though should I live my life like that? Why should I be so afraid of failure, that I actually set myself up for failure? I should not and I need to stop that. I need to change that thinking and realize that I am designed to do great things in my life.

It is hard though to change a thirty-year-old habit, but I believe if it is something that I want bad enough then I am going to find the way to change this and live the way that I want to live, and the life that I want to live. I do not want to settle for second best or settle that it is okay to fail, because you know what neither one of those options are okay. Failure is not an option any more and I am going to start believing it.

Therefore, in my life, there have always been three things I wanted to do, but because of my fear of failure, I never did them. Well it is time now to start living the life I want and doing what I set out to do.


Be in the best physical shape that I can be in

Run my own business and be great at it

Write blogs, short stories, novel, poems anything just get my name out there.


So there we have it three majors’ goals that I have set for myself in order to live the life that I want to live. There are smaller goals that I also plan on hitting but those will be talked about more once I figure out how to start living the life that I deserve to live.


Be in the best physical shape that I can be in
I am no where close to this goal as I’m sitting here writing I am weighing somewhere around 220lbs, I can’t even run one mile without stopping, and my body looks like nothing like what I know it can look life. However this body is my starting point and I know that I have nowhere to go but up from this point.


Run my own business and be great at it
This is not even started yet. I have a few ideas of where I want to go with this but I need to do my research and figure out what I want to do with my life. I am leaning towards something in the fitness world since my major goals resolve around fitness and I would love to spend the time motivating people to be the best that they can be.


Write blogs, short stories, novel, poems anything just get my name out there.
When I was younger, I used to love to write. I would spend hours writing short stories, and poems. I was actually good at it, and had teachers over the years tell me I should think about going into writing as a career. Well as you can tell I never did that and I told myself, I was not a good enough writing. So here I am thirty years old and realizing I gave up all my childhood dreams that I was good at. Therefore, my plan for this is to get out there, to write and get people to read it.

Therefore, while I have three majors goals in my life each one has many different aspects that I need to work on. No one goal is going to be easy and I am going to have to work my butt off to reach them. However, I am starting to realize I am worth it. I am worth fighting for and getting what I want in life.


Therefore, I am hoping you will join me in the journey that I am going to go on. To watch me grow into the person I deserve to grow into.
