Life is a series of choices based in fear or love. Most of us let fear be a guide and call it practical because what we’d really love to do seems impossible. The thing is, we can fail at the safe option just as easily as we can with the desirable one. So why not take a chance on something you love?

Probably because it’s hard, and there’s no clear path. But who really wants to live life with someone else’s map. You make choices and you fail, then you figure something else out. They say that life doesn’t happen to you, it happens for you. Who knows if that is true or not, but making a conscious decision to use those failures as opportunities. To perceive challenges as something beneficial and deal with it in a productive way that will create a path toward a life you truly want.

Fear is inevitable, but you get to decide how often you spend running away from imaginary ghosts.
