How much do we really require of ourselves?

I don't know about you, but when I was growing up there were alot more people telling me what I couldn't do than what I could. It seemed like everyone could see nothing but obstacles in my way in every direction. I did have one person in my life who wouldn't listen to all of those negative words from those same people. While I've always been optimistic about life and my capabilities, I have let those people's words infiltrate my brain just enough to still hear their small voices. The person that didn't listen to these thoughts has always followed his dreams. He always pushes past the you can't to the I will. He doesn't always succeed at what he tries, but he always comes out the other end knowing he gave it his all. He is not defeated, just more determined. On the other hand, I find myself sitting still wondering what if.....maybe.....I wonder. In the end, I don't know if I could because I never tried.

So, my question to you is: IS IT BETTER TO TRY AND FAIL.....OR.......IS IT BETTER TO NEVER FALL BECAUSE YOU NEVER TRIED TO STAND?

I would like you to dig deep within yourself and ask yourself this: COULD YOU EVER BE BOLD ENOUGH TO FORGET ABOUT FIGURING OUT WHO YOU ARE AND, INSTEAD, FIGURE OUT WHO YOU WERE MEANT TO BE?
