Being Alive!!
Fear of failure has killed many
young lives,
most die old, and many young;
while still alive.
Each day, dreams and hopes are
born inside,
each day, they are killed by
the fear of failure.
People choose to just live, not
be alive.
‘What if I fail?’ is the seed
soaked deep inside.
Every challenge life throws;
opportunity that knocks,
people choose to ignore because
of the ‘What if’s” inside.
That’s why people just live and
not be alive.
They live the same life, all
days of their life,
They live the average life,
till they are alive.
Life, is to face fear; to
experience what’s on the other side,
It’s to dream, fight fear, fail, and learn to be wise.
To fail is not a curse, it is a
big boon,
it teaches you to be stronger, and smarter; to succeed soon.
It’s a necessary stop on your
road to success;
to remind you, it’s only human
to fail; to pick yourself up and work again.
Once you experience failure,
you'll know it’s not that bad;
and only a positive attitude
will help you rise back.
Start killing your small fears,
before they kill you.
Start facing your fears and be
more alive.
Live a life each day, where you
feel happy you’re alive.
Live, such a life, that after
you die; your name stays alive.
Note : Let's all begin our
new year with the courage to fight all those small fears that create 'mountain out of
mole hills' in our head. Most of the fears stop us from grabbing those small
opportunities or taking risks, that may have a win-win situation on the other
side. I would wish all a fearless and prosperous new year.
