DO NOT BE AFRAID OF BEING AFRAID

'If you want to be successful, you just have to be willing to make a fool out of yourself”. Cristian Mihai.

Until you come to a point where you just don’t care about getting the approval of others, until you come to a point where you are not afraid of the pain of failure, you are not entirely free.

Unless you are willing to take a risk of being an embarrassment, you are not ready to succeed exceedingly. Great artists, creators, and entrepreneurs are men and women who placed themselves at the vulnerability of painful failure, ridicule, and embarrassment. They were ready for anything. As Helen Keller says, “Life is either a daring adventure or nothing”.

If you are still afraid of being afraid, you are not there yet. If you are still embarrassed about being embarrassed, you are not truly liberated. Being general and casual about life allows you to just be merely alive. You never blaze new traits, you never tread upon no go zones and push your own perceived limitations. You will die without ever having lived your life.

It is always better to fail at something than to excel at nothing. Get up and try again.

Man is like an onion. His potential is exposed one layer at a time until all about him is revealed to all.

One of the greatest tragedies in life is to watch potential die untapped. A greater tragedy is to watch potential live unreleased.

My greatest challenge, and greatest life, leadership and success lesson began on my 40th birthday way I was thrust from the mountain of success into a very dark valley. My birthday represented a giant fork or rut in the road of my personal life and my career. It was a time when the gold I had created by the sweat of my brow had turned to dust. I had not done anything to justify what had occurred. My birthday came to pass far, far away from the success, financial security, social capital and material comforts I had worked so very hard to achieve and acquire.
I landed far, far, away from my former success as CEO of a successful multi-million dollar company, and the accoutrements of success I had taken for granted. I faced a life crucible, an event of nightmarish proportion, that took me from the mountain of success to ground zero where I had to start my life and my career again. While I had overcome incredible hurdles to build a formidable career, the hurdles that I faced on my
