Failure
My first book signing was a few days ago. I have to say, the experience was incredibly rewarding. As it was supposed to be.
I met a lot of kind people, and took the signing as a learning experience.
When I started out wanting to publish, I was confused. I didn’t understand how it could be possible to find success in this field because of the high rate of failure.
I tell myself now: Don’t let failure be an option. It really is that easy.
Most people don’t reach their dreams because they are too afraid to fail. They give up without ever trying.
If you want something in this life, you have to go for it with all you’ve got. Why lose all that, when there still is a what if in the back of your mind?
I spent years and years thinking I could never make it as a writer, but now I look where I’m at. I took a chance, I kept my head straight, and pushed to the finish.
Never is a term with hope behind it. Even though I thought I would never make it as a writer, I kept hoping I could be one.
Everything can be made an accomplishment, if you refuse to let failure be an option. Don’t give yourself room to fail and you won’t. But remember, just because you fail doesn’t mean you can’t pick yourself back up and start fresh tomorrow.
In better terms if you know what you want and believe you can accomplish it, do it.
