Are You A Chicken?

In each of us, lies a fear buried deep within. It haunts our dreams and kills our spirit. We postpone things because we are afraid of the result: failure. It is this fear of failure that prevents us from achieving our life's dreams. "Why bother to try when the outcome is already determined?" the naysayers will say, but that is the point. Other than death, nothing is one hundred percent certain. There will always be variables in the calculations; random chances that no one could have foreseen.

So take heart: do not let the fear of failure stop you from achieving what you want in life. Instead of hiding, go forth into the world and turn your dreams into realities. Take life by the throat and make it give what you want. Anything is possible if you stop making excuses for yourself. Stop being a chicken that always hides behind the barn. Come out into the sunshine and revel in your new-found freedom.
