The cowardly lion

"We choose to live by our dreams and not by our fears” Is it your fears or your dreams that guide you?  To be honest for the longest time I let my fears act as the motivation for my actions, everything I did would be in hopes of never being labeled as a failure.  That fear of failure made me get up in the morning, it made me go to work, it made all my actions justifiable. But being motivated by fear is a dangerous thing because no matter what you do or accomplish it was all rooted in something negative.  Your wins don’t feel like gains they feel like more of a relief, a relief that you didn’t allow your fears to conquer you. Fear can make you do things that you never thought you were capable of doing and it can also take you to depths where you don’t recognize the person you have become.

I think it is much more productive to live by our dreams, to live life for all things you wish to become.  Allow yourself to dream wildly and then put your entire being into the pursuit of your vision.  We should dream as a child does without a care of this world’s cynicism and negativity.  You don’t begin to fly for fear of falling; no you fly for the dream of freedom. When our dreams lead the way what once was seen as impossible now becomes possible.  Our dreams make us limitless and capable of ascending to great heights. 

No longer do I let my fears serve as my motivation, instead I choose to chase my dreams and let them guide my path.
