doubt kills more dreams than failure ever will

By David Tepera, September 8, 2021

There’s no secret, we are all afraid to show our weaknesses and failures. We only want people to know us for successes. This is the main reason “doubt” will kill your dreams.

Let me tell you, as I’ve become older, I truly don’t care what other people think or say of me. Throughout my years, I’ve matured into a caring compassionate man who cares for every human and animal on this planet. So, I can only be the best of me and not for others.

Through many guest speeches and writings, I’ve corresponded with countless people about being scared to chase their dreams. You must not doubt your dreams because others will want you to fail. When you fail, people around you will feel better about themselves because they didn’t have the drive to give it a go. And, when you do succeed, they’ll make excuses about themselves, including you getting a lucky break. Just keep pushing forward because this is your life.

Look, we’ve all wished we’d had asked the girl or guy, stand up to the bully, pursued the promotion, started our own business, or continued exercising and dieting. Don’t worry about past mistakes and doubting decisions because those gave you experiences to be better.

Being in health and fitness, we have many older people come to us who think it’s impossible to add muscle and get back in shape. We teach them a weight training formula and their quality-of-life changes forever.

Let’s come to reality, I don’t care how old, broke, overweight and so-on you are. Why are you still doubting yourself? Why haven’t you taken the leap and just go for it? Quit making excuses and listening to others who want you to fail.

Today is a different day. There is nothing that is going to stand in your way to keep from chasing dreams. You can completely change your life at this very moment because you want it.

Shout to the heavens “this is my day and I’m going to kick some serious butt”. No one or anything can stop you or stand in your way because you control your destiny.  

Put your helmet on and bust through any barriers that dare to stand in front of you. Today, life will change forever because you’re never going to doubt yourself again, plus you’re not afraid of failure. Now, look out and get out of my way.
