Once you learn that, you’ll never be the same again

Steve Jobs said, “Life can be so much broader, once you discover one simple fact, and that is that everything around you that you call ‘life’ was made up by people who were no smarter than you. And you can change it, you can influence it, you can build your own things that other people can use. Once you learn that, you’ll never be the same again.”

You’ll never be the same again. You have everything you need. You can create something that others need or want. You can change the world.

And how do you know you are on the right path? Author Neil Gaiman said, “The moment that you feel that, just possibly, you’re walking down the street naked, exposing too much of your heart and your mind and what exists on the inside, showing too much of yourself. That’s the moment you may be starting to get it right.”

In order to be fearless you need to feel the fear first. You need to think you can’t do it. And then you have to do it. That’s how great things happen.

So feel the fear and then walk through it. Know that you have something the world is waiting for. Believe in yourself beyond reason. You can create the life you want. Start today.
