“The risk of going all in only scary until you do it.” – me
The clichés the mottoes, the personal mantras are everywhere. “go all in”, “go big or go home”, “I am I can and I will.” They are cute. They are nice. And, they are true. If you use them as words to live by and actually do it, that is.
The reality is that if you want to succeed at anything from running a marathon to landing your dream job to running your own business, you have to go all in. You can never reach your full potential running the rim. You have to go big and you to believe that you are capable and that you can and will accomplish what you set out to do. If you don’t you are already starting behind the eight ball; your very own eight ball that can be the hardest one to get around.
There are enough doubters on any path; you can’t afford to be one of them. Don’t get me wrong, I understand that self doubt is part of the process, but you must learn to move through that quickly. You have to be confident. You have to be your number one fan. You need to rally the squirrels in your head to spin the wheels in unison and cheer you on. And, you must go all in. If you don’t you will never really know what might have been. What could have been. And, quite possibly, what should have been.
Don’t resolve to live a life with that thorn gently poking your side, leaving that itch unscratched, lurking below the surface causing a life a regret. Manufacturing those thoughts of “if only…”,”would if I…”, “I should have…”
You’re right. If only you went all in. Would if you had gone all in? You should have gone all in because if you do and you fail, you can’t walk away with your head down full of regret. You can walk away a winner because you tried your best and your mind is open to possibility instead of packed with embarrassment and regret. Your mind is open to the lessons of failure that make you stronger and better, and most importantly, willing to go all in again and again, and again and whatever is necessary to accomplish what you set as your goal.
The risk of going all in only scary until you do it.
