As long as you are moving forward, you have nothing to worry about. Trust me, I’m no swimmer. But I am persistent.
Persistent enough to constantly fight myself about the idea of being where I want to be.
I can see the end, I can see what I want and I know what I want, however I also see now, the present.
The problem is I don’t entirely see how I am going to get to where I want to go or I don’t always see the results coming through.
But what I do know, is if I continue to push, continue to step it up, to bounce back, to fight harder, I will get there… I will get there.
SO CAN YOU!
“Even if you fall on your face you’re still moving forward.” ~ Victor Kiam
This is true because if you’re afraid to fail you won’t make any progress and there is only progress or regress, there’s no standing still. You’re either moving forward or you’re moving backward. You always want to keep forward momentum, even if that involves falling on your face. You’ll learn from the experience and be able to apply that to future challenges, potentially avoiding future face-fallings. When you don’t attempt something for fear of falling on your face, you don’t move forward, and you end up shriveling into a version of yourself that is not as great as it could be.
I understand it can be little scary to move forward with no real certainty of the end result…
When you are faced with uncertainty you should begin by taking:
– Taking a small (smart) step forward toward your goal.
– Evaluate what you have learned from taking that step.
– Build that learning into what you do next.
– Take another small step and see what you learn.
– Build that learning into what you do next.
