Easier said than done

At the base level, we all want to be happy. We want to feel fulfilled. We want to feel like we're living a life that matters, that our family and friends are proud of. And if we are lucky, we can find a career that makes us happier, healthier, and morally upright. As with most things in life, it's easier said than done.

You've dreamed of being a success since you were young. When you were a child, your imagination was the size of the world. The possibilities and opportunities for you seemed endless.

You've worked hard to achieve some of these opportunities and you've failed along the way. Sometimes you feel like everything has gone wrong in your life and it's just not going to work out.

But, at the end of the day, your imagination is still epic. Your dreams are still big. Your potential is still there just waiting to be realized. Your fear of failure and rejection is preventing you from realizing your dreams.

As someone who is enthralled by entrepreneurship and entrepreneurship education, it is particularly fascinating to learn about people who have had to start from scratch. The good thing about starting from scratch is that you can create your own journey and your own path rather than trying to make it in a world of someone else's making.

The more difficult thing about starting from scratch is that you have to build everything yourself – and this becomes a much more daunting task when your life's experience tells you that no one cares about helping you get started.

But when you put it into perspective, every dream is someone else's nightmare. For us to be successful, we have to learn how important our experiences are to each other even if they seem negative or difficult at the time.

The only reason you are who you are is because someone else wanted to avoid who they were. Life isn't a self-improvement course. It's the opposite. You need to be the best version of the worst version of yourself in order to become the best version of the best version of yourself.
