Get Audacious!

If you have been around much at all you have likely heard something like, "He had the nerve to believe he could..." or "She had the audacity to think she would..." You can fill in the blank, "get that job", "start that business", "when the election..." etc. etc. I don't know how they fared, but one thing is certain, these "audacious" people likely moved well beyond the naysayers who, by the way, tend to just hide in the bushes and watch.

Sometimes you will hear, "Wait until the weather breaks...
until your ship comes in... till you get a little more experience... Just wait!" Now sometimes that may be good advice. Look at where you are and be certain that you are not operating out of fear and looking for an excuse not to TRY!

More often than not, "Going for it," can provide you with a level of insight and experience that is unparalleled even when not victorious, and, you never know. It just might happen. You may surprise a few people.

Life truly comes at you fast. Don't play it so safe that you wind up looking back and thinking "If I wish I could, I would, I should have... Be audacious! Have the audacity to believe you can. All the successful and fulfilled people I know or know of have tried and even failed but they kept on until they hit the mark. And you know what?

They set new trails to blaze and new targets to hit. don't blow your life savings or anything. Just take a chance. Henry David Thoreau wrote,
"If one advances confidently in the direction of one's dreams, and endeavors to live the life which one has imagined, one will meet with a success unexpected in uncommon hours."
ENJOY LIFE! BE AUDACIOUS! For the gift of a lift visit my other blog www.cliftonmcknight.wordpress.com
