It's never too late to reach for your dreams. No matter what happened before, no matter how you felt about what happened, no matter what other people may have said about it, if the spark is still there, then the dream has not died inside you waiting to see the light of day.
You make it happen. Your attitude about it makes it happen. If you choose to dwell on what went wrong the last time or what COULD go wrong this time you set yourself up to fail. You set yourself up for all those feelings and actions to come flooding back in and to replay all the turmoil that left you feeling so bad.
If the spark is there then the dream still dances in your mind. You have seen it, or at least flashes of it, and it makes you smile, but then that smile is cut short when the fear comes rushing through and blocks its path.
You are in charge of those floodgates. You know the ones; you know when they come. The sharp pain in your chest, the burning in your stomach, the pounding in your head all scream the same thing... "you can't do it! Success is only for other people... not you!"
But it's up to you to slam that gate shut and trap those feelings where they can never bother you again. It's time to open the other gate where calm, serenity and confidence reign. It's time to let them out to surround you and light the way to your dream.
Yes, those bad feelings have been around as long as you can remember, but their seniority doesn't mean they can never be fired. Fire them. throw them out, give them their walking papers and tell them never to return, for they have done nothing positive for you.
Yes, the new feelings though they are pleasant and though they can help you are unfamiliar to you. Yes, the temptation well be strong at first to go back to what is familiar, to what you know... fear and pain and insecurity. But the more you push those away, the more you refuse to entertain them in your mind and heart the more quickly those positive feeling will take up permanent residence. They will propel you to new heights. They will point out the fastest way to your goals. They will give you confidence on your journey. And the two most important words of all are "I can!!!"
