Yes you do need food, shelter, and clothing to be able to live which means you need money to get all those things but one thing that I think you need to really LIVE are dreams and goals. Personally, I feel that my dreams and goals are the reason I wake everyday and the reason I always am optimistic and have a positive attitude. Everyday above ground is a good day. Life is all about choices and the best choice anyone can make is to go after their dreams or genuine interests/ passions. These are the things that make us who we are. I believe that your dreams or goals are the reasons we do what we do. Parents work hard and sacrifice because they have a dream of providing a better life for their children and Michael Jordan didn't work hard just to be average he did it because he wanted to the best. Having a dream or goal to work towards is a very positive thing and the only way we can make our dreams come true is through action. I look up to successful people for the fact that they had dreams and goals that they wanted to accomplish and they actually took action to accomplish them. It takes courage to do something you have never done before because there is no guarantee that you will be successful. Failure is a part of the road to success. If you don't believe look at Soichiro Honda. He was turned down for a job as an engineer with Toyota. Instead of running home to cry Mr. Honda sold his home made scooters to his neighbors and he eventually started his own company which we all know today. If that's not enough proof look at "the happiest place on earth" Disney World. Before Disney World was created Walt Disney started his own business in his garage and his very first cartoon project went bankrupt. I repeat failure is a part of success. Want more proof look at Bill Gates and Traf-O-Data, Michael Jordan, Abraham Lincoln, J.K. Rowling etc .I am not afraid to fail because to me failing is way better than not trying. The one advantage of failure is that you can learn from your mistakes to improve as well as to get better. Experience is the best teacher.
If you really want something bad enough you will be willing to go through whatever it takes to get it. All I know is that my dreams and goals are worth fighting for till success is the outcome. I hope yours are too. Please do not waste your time listening to negative people who have never done what you want to do. Listen to people who have accomplished something you want to accomplish or have done what you want you want to do. Just remember there will always be obstacles and things to overcome but failure is the part of the formula for success so the best thing to do is keep going and you don't have to take my word for it this quote from Jordan says it best:
“I know fear is an obstacle for some people, but it is an illusion to me. Failure always made me try harder next time.”
- Michael Jordan
