My biggest fear is not to fail, not to lose everything Iβve work my whole life forβ¦
A life long lesson
I made my first decision (for myself) at the age of 30, before that every decision was influenced by status quo, cultural expectations and conditioning from my surroundings.
I only found photography at the age of 28, two years later I quit my 6 years engineering job that I worked my whole life for at the age of 30.
It was then that I realised I spent 30 years of my life living someone elseβs dreams.
Can you believe that quitting engineering at the age 30 was the very first decision I have ever made that was based on what I wanted to do not what Iβm scared of?
At that time I started to reflect and asked myself, βif today were the last day of my life would I do what Iβm about to do today?β
I realised that my biggest fear is not to fail or to lose everything I have worked for.
I still have those in my mind and luckily it is my fear of regrets that kept pushing me forward through the hardest time.
Itβs whatβs pushed me through when I have $0 on my bank account, even when I have to sell my house because I canβt pay my mortgage.
My biggest fear is to look back on my dying bed and to think, βwhat if? What couldβve been ifβ¦?β
We can never live without fear, it helps us to stay humble, keep us in check. However when fear become the driver of our life then it becomes unhealthy.
Limit us from our true potential and dreams.
Thatβs why it is important to find the courage within the fear, to push past the limiting voice that had been stopping us to move forward.
To believe in ourselves and our journey.
