120. Only because you’ve failed doesn’t meant it’s over

Get back out there, damn it.

One of the saddest things in life is unfulfilled potential. I was one of the smartest kids all through school. Then I come out into the real world and frankly, I’m an idiot. I’m not street smart. I’m coasting through life and don’t have the guts I need to succeed in life.

But I’m not letting this be the end of who I can be. Slowly but surely, I’m pressing on the boundaries of my comfort, doing things that I know I can be good at and doing them well. I’m writing, building an audience and getting more confident.

I see so many ‘real adults’ who look like they’ve given up, resigning themselves to lives of quiet desperation, choking down the latest and greatest thing only to feel no less fulfilled than they were before it. You know what’s harder?

Creating something wholesome. Something that you know you need but can’t get from buying. These things take time, but they’re worth it. The most important thing is that they need you… you to commit to it and you to believe in it.
